'''Symbolism''' was an artistic movement that lasted from 1890 to 1900. They were a diverse group of artists often painting independently with varying artistic goals. Symbolism began in France and spread across Europe and America. It was a forerunner of [[Surrealism]], [[Expressionism]] and [[Abstract|Abstraction]]. discarding appearances for images of fantasy. Prominent symbolist artists were Puvis de Chavannes (1824–1898), Gustave Moreau (1826–1898), Henri Rousseau (1844-1910), [[Odile Redon]], Albert Pinkham Ryder (1847- 1917), and [[Gustav Klimt]]. Some created imaginary themes, mysterious figures, monstrous, creatures from biblical stories and Greek mythology.
