Symbolism

Rate this book
Symbolism appeared in Europe and the United States between the 1880s and the early 20th century. The Symbolists, fascinated with ancient mythology, attempted to escape the reign of rational thought imposed by science. They wished to transcend the world of the visible and the rational in order to attain the world of pure thought, constantly flirting with the limits of the unconscious.

Esperaba que ahondara más sobre el tema, pero quedó todavía en la superficie. Lo que me agradó es que acompañó su discurso con obras de arte.

Gracias a este libro volví a reencontrarme con una pintura que me gustó mucho, pero que había olvidado :')
