About this book In the public mind, the art of the second half of the nineteenth century is essentially the art of the Impressionists. They, and they alone, are accorded a revolutionary role. It is they, so we are told, who were the opponents of academic painting and the progenitors of Modernism as we now know it. In fact, this is an over-simplification. There was another art, equally revolutionary - and in some respects even more revolutionary - in its aims: the art of the Symbolist movement. Symbolist artists (notably Gustave Moreau, Odilon Redon and Puvis de Chavannes) tried to apply to painting and sculpture the doctrines and the ideas which also inspired poets such as Rimbaud and Mallarme, and novelists such as Huysmans. Though the Symbolist heyday in Paris was short-lived, the movement had an influence upon painting which perhaps exceeded that of Impressionism both in duration and geographical range. We find important Symbolist painters at work in places as remote from one another as Oslo (Munch), Vienna (Klimt) and Barcelona (the young Picasso). It is through Symbolism, too, that we can explain the relationship between the English painting of the fin de siecle and what was taking place in Europe. Edward Lucie-Smith, in his new study, throws a flood of light upon the origins of Modernism, and upon the development of painting and sculpture in the closing years of the nineteenth century. Edward Lucie-Smith was born in 1933 in Kingston, Jamaica, and in 1946 came to England. He was educated at King's School, Canterbury, and at Merton College, Oxford, where he took a degree in history. Well known as poet, journalist and broadcaster, he is the author o~ three volumes of verse - A Tropical Childhood, Confessions and Histories and Towards Silence - and has edited several anthologies. He has also published Movements in Art Since 1945, A Concise History of French Painting and Eroticism in Western Art (all in the 'World of Art Library'), and Thinking about Art.
