The Symbolist art movement of the late nineteenth century forms an important bridge between Impressionism and Modernism. This book argues that Symbolism enabled artists to confront an increasingly uncertain and complex world - one to which pessimists responded with themes of decadence and degeneration and optimists with idealism and reform.
