Mallarme, on the other hand, thinks that language is extremely lacking. He thinks that words cannot possibly express complex emotions and ideas. They can never properly convey what the mind can think. Yet since we have no other way of communicating these ideas and emotions we have to try our best to use poetry and symbolism to describe them.
Decadence scorns the idea of ideals. Greater purpose is not found in Decadent writings. The protagonists of Decadent novels are focused on the accumulation of exotic luxuries and pleasure. This idea of never having enough applies to material excess and indulgent behavior in Decadent literature. On the other hand, in Symbolism, the focus is dreams and ideals. So in Symbolism the lack of satisfaction stems from a spiritual discontent.
Decadence glorifies the gory and the shocking. Abstract: Aestheticism, decadence and symbolism are all movements in art and literature that sprang up almost simultaneously in England in the late nineteenth century. These movements rose in reaction against the prevailing realists and naturalists of the time, as well as against the neo-classical and romanticism.
The proponents of aestheticism and decadence held the doctrine of l'art pour l'art and emphasized the autonomy of works of art over life and criticism. The movement was led by Charles Baudelaire, J. Thus, a man who is standing at the top of a rock feels both a fear of falling down as well as a desire to jump down.
These two contradictory desires which manifest themselves at the same time are at the origin of both a desire to withdraw from the world and a desire to act, to go toward the world.
It will reach its climax in Expressionism and Existentialism, in Russian literature of the absurd, in the philosophy of Heidegger and in those he influenced Blanchot, for example.
Falling between these extremes of thought, the art, literature and music of the end of the 19th century reinvented the romantic motifs of dread and anxiety and reimagined the notions of the occasions of illuminations and darkness. Symbolist angst, which has not yet been carefully studied, similarly demands reflection about the romantic heritage at the threshold of Modernity, which in its turn is based on the deficiencies of being. We find representations of existential angst in a variety of forms in Odilon Redons' works, in Bourdelle's drawings, and in the paintings of Gustave Moreau, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and Mikhail Vrubel'.
In philosophy Leo Shestov explores the relation of the deracination and existential anxiety. The goal of this conference is to bring to light and examine the creative dimension in art, literature, thought and music of existential unease in the Symbolist movement of the second half of the 19th and of the early 20th centuries and the ways in which it gave birth to new linguistic expressions and a new symbolic language.
Symbolism is likely the basis for artistic and intellectual movements that followed it. Expressionism, Surrealism and Abstract art have significant elements in common with Symbolism, while Acmeism and Constructivism can be seen as reactions to Symbolism.
