February 23 - the birthday of British Symbolist painter George Frederic Watts (1817-1904). Watts became famous in his lifetime for his allegorical works, such as Hope and Love and Life. These paintings were intended to form part of an epic symbolic cycle called the "House of Life", in which the emotions and aspirations of life would all be represented in a universal symbolic language.

The Chariot of Apollo and the Dragon (1907) by French #Symbolist artist Odilon Redon (1840-1916).
Odilon Redon often returned to the ancient myth of Apollo in his sun chariot with the writhing coils of a snake below, revealing the pervasive influence of Eugene Delacroix. But Redon infuses his rendering of the subject with an air of dreamlike calm, in keeping with his preference in his mature works to maintain a sense of ambiguity.

Silence (1911) by French #Symbolist artist Odilon Redon.
Discussing the imagery and theme of #silence in Redon’s art, Richard Hobbs states: “Silence here is not associated with fear or pessimism but with the suggestion of reflective and #spiritual experience. Silence negates the intrusions of the contingent and objective world, giving rein to that undefined state of thoughtfulness that the idealist art of Redon seeks to provoke"

July 14 - the birthday of Gustav Klimt (1862-1918) - an #Austrian #symbolist painter. Klimt was among the many European artists of his time who were inspired by cultural traditions from outside their own milieu. He lived in #Vienna, a crossroads of East and West, and he drew on sources such as Byzantine art, Mycenaean metalwork, Persian rugs and miniatures, the mosaics of the Ravenna churches, and Japanese screens.

The Gothic Window (1900) is one of many images #French artist Odilon Redon painted of profile figures with flowers. The woman embodies his conception of #spiritual life and suggests a #meditative state often found in #Symbolist painting. Eastern schools of thought also influenced Redon, and the floating cluster of flowers may be intended as Buddhist symbols of pure spirit and beauty.

Four years after #HGWells published 'The Time Machine' (1895), #AlfredJarry wrote 'How to Construct a Time Machine' (1899).

Jarry (pataphysics, Ubu Roi) was a French #Symbolist poet, playwright, and influencer on #Dadaism, #Surrealism, #Futurism, #Absurdism and #Conceptualism. His works inspired avant-garde thinkers and arts movements of the 20th century.

April 20 - the birthday of a French Symbolist artist Odilon Redon. Redon is best known today for the dreamlike paintings created in the first decade of the 20th century, which were inspired by Japanese art and leaned toward abstraction. His work is considered a precursor to Surrealism.

Hello everyone!
I'm a #musician who makes electroneiric #chanson and has a side project called Glamourie, which is more #folk #ambient oriented. I also create various written and visual works. The whole is linked by a #fantastical inclination, a #symbolist sensibility and a #faery aesthetic.
Small precision but I mainly toot in #French.

The internet is great until you have an intense interest is something old and obscure. I can Google #SulamithWulfing and get the Wikipedia summary, but good luck finding a book about her (that is in English and not out of print). Same with some of the interesting looking books about the #Symbolist art movement. Good lord I don't want to spend $50-$100 on a book! But it's the kind of subject where those old books are the only way to learn more about it. 😭 #BookHunt #Help
