MUSIEK GESCHIEDENIS [aka MUSIC HISTORY] by Bernet Kempers.

Symbolism had a major impact of Dutch book art. The high point of symbolist painting was between 1890 and 1910, but Dutch book designers used the imagery until the 1930s.

Fernand Knopff (1858 - 1921).

"Caress of the Sphinx" and aka simply just as "Art," 1896.

Oil on Canvas.

Height: 505mm (19.88 inches), Width: 1,510mm (59.44 inches).

Collection: Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium, Brussels.

Caress of the Sphinx (also known as Art) is an 1896 painting by the Belgian Symbolist artist Fernand Khnopff (1858–1921) famed for its depiction of androgyny. The work is an interpretation of the French symbolist painter Gustave Moreau's 1864 painting Oedipus and the Sphinx.

It is pointed out in the book Enchanting David Bowie that the album cover artwork by Guy Peellaert for the rock star's 1974 album Diamond Dogs possesses striking similarities to the painting.

The painting plays an important part in the plot of the short story "The Caress" from the book "Axiomatic" of Greg Egan.

The painting is in the permanent collection of the Royal Museum of Fine Arts of Belgium in Brussels.

Uma promessa de filho, um rastro de família

Certo ódio é um refluxo esofágico doloroso

De tamanha acidez persistente

Como pensamento intrusivo martelando a psique

Certo choro é sujeira grudada no fundo

Bate, bate, mas não cai

Gente sem caráter

Pois é que vaso ruim não quebra e meu olho é mudo

Aumenta a densidade

Lacraram a tampa

Me puseram no fogão

Isso sem dó nem piedade

Cozinhando em banho-maria

Amolecendo minhas vísceras

Endurecendo as malícias

Mirando numa vingança fria

Certo trejeito é o tal do choro preso na garganta

Espirro retido que nunca vê contorno de narina

Promessa de filho, Moisés, entregue embrulhado em manta

Rastro de família, Jimmy Darling, manchando o pós carnificina

The Embrace (1937) by Léonard Sarluis (1874-1949), Netherlands born French painter.

Born in the Hague in October of 1874, French painter Salomon-Léon Sarluis, known as Léonard Sarluis, studied at the École des Beaux-Arts before moving to Paris in 1884 where he became a well known figure on its boulevards. He was a student of the French Symbolist painter Armand Point and of the French novelist Élémir Bourges, who was strongly linked with the Decadent and Symbolist movements in literature. Sarluis was also associated with the openly gay poet Jean Lorrain, who is remembered for his contributions to the satirical weekly Le Courrier Français and his Decadent novels and short stories.

Léonard Sarluis traveled widely throughout Italy, visiting Naples, and Russia. Upon his return to Paris, he exhibited at the Salon de la Rose Croix and the Salon des Artistes Français, and at a number of other Parisian galleries. With designer Armand Point, Sarluis created the poster for the fifth exhibition at the Salon des Artistes Français, depicting Perseus holding the severed head of novelist Émile Zola, who was rejected by the Symbolists for his Naturalist social commentary.

Working under the influence of Point, Léonard Sarluis combined a technique inspired by the Old Masters with a style that was sensual and very modern. He liked to work on a grand scale, and his monumental “Nero”, exhibited at the Galerie Georges Petit in Paris, was greatly admired by muralist painter Puvis de Chavannes. In 1919 Sarluis had a solo exhibition at the Galerie Bernheim, one of the oldest galleries in Pairs and a leader in avant-garde art.

In 1923, Sarluis produced illustrations based on novelist Gaston Pavloski’s 1912 mystical “Voyage to the Land of the Fourth Dimension”. For a number of years, Sarluis worked on a series of three hundred-sixty paintings entitled “A Mystical Interpretation of the Bible”, which were shown at the Grafton Galleries in London in 1926.

Léonard Sarluis’s inspiration was emblematic of a turn of the century that combined nostalgia for an imagined past, decadent themes and sometimes cloudy mysticism. A provocative character and dandy, and a friend of Oscar Wilde, Salomon-Léon Sarluis died in 1949 in Paris.

Beautiful Book Cover

In 1897 Klimt and a few other artists started a new organization called the Vienna Secession. It was named after the Munich Secession from 1892. He became the first president of the organization whose focus was to highlight artists from all over the world and to move away from strict adherence to traditional, classical modes and rules of art.
