title: Pictorial Symbolism and the Philosophical Savage creator: Hage, Ralph subject: ddc-750 subject: Painting subject: France subject: Painting subject: Aurier, Gabriel-Albert subject: Gauguin, Paul subject: Symbolismus subject: Wildheit subject: Primitivismus description: The article argues that the art critic Albert Aurier’s use of the European stereotype of the "savage" as a description of Paul Gauguin, was primarily an idealist philosophical strategy for opposing late XIXth century naturalism and its scientific underpinnings. It led to the formation of the Artists’ image and determined the reading of his work for more than a century. date: 2016 type: Article type: info:eu-repo/semantics/article type: NonPeerReviewed identifier: https://archiv.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/artdok/5311/ format: application/pdf identifier: https://archiv.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/artdokhttps://archiv.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/artdok/5311/1/Hage_Pictorial_Symbolism_and_the_philosophical_Savage_2016.pdf identifier: urn:nbn:de:bsz:16-artdok-53114 rights: info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess language: eng
