Symbolism by Norbert Wolf
Symbolism, whose influence was felt well into the modernist era, was an artistic religion-substitute, a spiritually charged cult of beauty. It is no wonder that Symbolists created some of the most fascinating artworks of their age. This book describes and interprets the work and brief biography of the artists.
