Symbolist painters believed that art should reflect an emotion or idea rather than represent the natural world in the objective, quasi-scientific manner embodied by Realism and Impressionism... Their almost universal preference for broad strokes of unmodulated color and flat, often abstract forms was inspired by [[Pierre Puvis de Chavannes]], who created greatly simplified forms in order to clearly express abstract ideas. His muted palette and decorative treatment of forms made a considerable impact on a new generation of artists, most notably [[Paul Gauguin]] and [[Pablo Picasso]].
