Symbolism

Symbolism is the second school of the Modernism. It is the applied use of symbols. It implies a system of iconic representations that denote ordinary meanings. It stands to claim that all the surrounding things may be related to certain images. By the way, this medium of reality reflection is very comfortable in the sense that real objects or people may be shown in the veiled way.

Symbolism presupposes more literal properties than abstract ones, allowing for the broader interpretation of a carried meaning. Besides, the religion can be described as the language of concepts that is related to human spirituality.

It's interesting that the basics was founded by the psychiatrists Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung. They saw the symbols as not the creations of mind but distinct mental capacities to hold a distinct piece of information.

One of the main symbolic poets was Stephane Mallarme.

Simultaneously, it was the time of great social, political and economic changes that became the foundation for radical kinds of art and thinking. It was a general industrialization process that altered the face of modern civilization.
