- Les poetes maudits
Also, to me, I know it is, but poems written in vers libre don't seem to me that much like poems, I know they are, but without the rythm and the rhymes and all of that I don't see the point in these poems.

Imagism in the U.S. and Great Britain
Probably prose poems work but only when they are very short as the imagists often did them.
The three principles, in my opinion, cuouldn't be better for a poem. Especially the second one, because sometimes really really long poems which say few thing can be very boring. I still think, even if it is in musical phrase, not following a meter and rhymes in poems doesn't work that well.
Although, the first principle, I think goes a bit out of symbolism when you give direct treatment of the 'thing'.
Paul Gauguin
Finally an artist who was middle-class or above, before he left of course, all the others are poor or just junkies and I was starting to lose hope.
Although, I would like to travel as much as he did and you can clearly see the symbols of an angel beating what looks to me like a herald, I don't particularly like his paintings because they do not look very realistic and there are some odd shapes in people and things. The one that I did like was 'The seed if the Areoi' because the background and the flowers are very nice.
Pictorialist photography
In my opinion, photography should've been taken as an art form right from the beginnign without the need of movements trying to prove what photography could do and to prove that it could be art. Photography is not at all like paintings but you can still do a lot with a photograph and play with all the possibilities.
It is in fact, no less artificial than any other art form, less that some actually, I think. And some of these pictures are very cool and they should've been enough to prove that photography could be an art form at that time.
I really likes 'Struggle' because it looks just like a painting. Also, I liked Stieglitz's 'Spring showers', 'Winter' and 'Dirigible' a lot because they look very dark and interesting and taken from a horror flim. Stieglitz is probably my favourit pictorialist photographer.
