With Actor Idol finished and Music Idol about to finish, is anyone interested in that Painter Idol season I spoke about, with the theme being late 19th century and early 20th century movements:

- Symbolism
- Decadentism
- Art Nouveau

So far, the following people had expressed interest:

1- @Pingy - Maxfield Parrish
2- @MrFilmkritik - TBD
3- @CINNAMON - TBD
4- @DameOctaviaSpencer - TBD
5- @Peppin - TBD (although you PMed me with some possibilities!)
6- And truly yours - TBD

So, between 4 and 7 spotls left!

Anyone wants to play? Tagging previous players @NW12 , @ladylurks , @Confusion , @VV , @Serhal , @Habsburg , @Nora , @Montreel , @Cutie , @24Emmy , @aikugur , @The Dark Poet...

And of course, always trying to get @affy18 to play , hopefully with Hammershøi


I know the theme may seem too specific/obscure, but really, it's a pleasure to start roaming through the following wikipedia pages and discovering how awesome and gorgeous these paintings are, there's A LOT to choose from, and a lot that's gorgeous and creepy and fascinating and many other things.


Here are the links that may help you:

Would Lawren Harris (his early years, up to 1930) be eligible here? His landscapes seem very symbolist to me. I know Canadian painters are hard to categorize - they're kind of their own movement, lol.

Didn't know him or the Group of the Seven he belonged to, but, judging from what I've just read and seen, I'll accept him! Provided you only use paintings before 1930, will that work for you?

That's great!

I'm out, but thanks for thinking about me!

[The Dark Poet]

Would Otto Dix fit? I've had him on hold for a while, and I'm eager to play again. If he is, count me in!

[Nora]

Thank you @McTeague for the tag. And I apologize I won't be able to participate.

I think Dix and the Berlin Secession expressly distanced themselves from the turn-of-century movements and is more a post-WWI, expressionistic figure. But save him for a future one, and choose another one in the links above! There are many DarkPoetish painters among them!

And thanks @Nora and @aikugur for replying!

Also, the Wikipedia entry for art-nouveau painters isn't very good, but, exploring it, you can reach the page for the Catalan art-nouveau painters (in Spain, the movement was called "Modernismo", and "modernisme" in Catalonia). They're FANTASTIC, so, feel free to explore them and claim them!
