Symbolism

Symbolism is a late 19th-century art and literary movement that emphasized the representation of ideas and emotions through symbols and metaphors. Artists like Gustav Klimt and Odilon Redon created works with dreamlike imagery, often exploring themes of mysticism, spirituality, and the subconscious. This movement sought to express deeper truths beyond the visible world, rejecting realism in favor of a more imaginative and subjective approach.
