What became essentially a Symbolist manifesto, that art should be?

1. IDEISTE (Ideative)… expressing an idea. 2. SYMBOLIST since it expresses that idea through form. 3. SYNTHETIC since it expresses those forms and signs in a way that is generally understandable. 4. SUBJECTIVE since the object … is only an indication of an idea perceived by the subject. 5. And as a result, it will also be DECORATIVE … since decorative painting is at once an art that is synthetic, symbolist, and ideative.
