Symbolism Art Movement

Hey dear Hive friends, first of all I would like to welcome you all to my contribution and hope you had a day full of positive experiences! Today I would like to talk about art history and hope you can learn something new.

Here you can see some artworks that I created with the help of artificial intelligence and present the art movement symbolism a little closer which was created in the 19th century. The exact period of this movement was between 1890 and 1920 and it falls into the time of modernism in which there are more manifestations and can be generally referred to as a creative epoch and it was considered an experimental time under artists. The focus of symbolism was to express symbolism and it was about conveying subliminal messages to the viewer of the artworks and to bring this to the present, some different styles were used. This period was also known for the fact that many technical innovations came onto the market and industrialization had one of the highlights and art was a tool at that time to criticise things and often different signs or other cryptographic elements were incorporated into the images. This time was also known for the fact that morality in the whole society was often in a not so good balance and through symbolism you could let your thoughts run more freely.

The origin of these current at that time was France from where it had received more and more attention from artists and quickly spread throughout Europe. It can also be seen as a counter-movement of naturalism and it can also be described as a departure from it and one of the most important characteristics was the emphasis on the mysterious. In addition to symbols, certain colors, animals or patterns associated with symbolism were often used and integrated into the works and there was also a lot of room for mysticism. It was also a very imaginative art movement in which often spirituality was presented and it was about depicting abstract thoughts. Literature has also influenced symbolism and here with the help of language, attention should be drawn to certain things and of course, some messages were also included in the texts and, similar to art, symbols were often used with deep meanings and it was usually associated with very profound texts as well as the search for the truths and spiritual insights.
