Discover *Autour du Symbolisme: photographies et peintures du XIXe siècle*—the illustrated book published by Bozar Éditions and 5 Continents in 2004 (2nd edition, ISBN 9788874391332, French version) that accompanies the exhibition at the Centre for Fine Arts (Bozar) in Brussels. Through contributions by Christine De Naeyer, Alain D’Hooghe, Luce Lebart, Dominique Planchon-de Font-Réaulx, and Michel Poivert, this volume explores the intimate connections between photography and Symbolist painting: pictorial imitations dating back to the dawn of photography, Pictorialist experimentation with textures and effects, *mise-en-scène*, and the emancipation of painting from pure figuration.
It features artists such as Degas, Khnopff, and von Stuck working from personal photographs, as well as Delacroix drawing inspiration from Durieu or Vallou de Villeneuve. Richly illustrated with works from the exhibition, this softcover volume (in very good condition) offers a scholarly yet accessible exploration of this major 19th-century artistic dialogue. Ideal for enthusiasts of art history, early photography, and Symbolism.
