Abstract
This paper intends to analyze the role played by the pictorial elements of drawing and color in the late painting of the french nineteenth-century artist Gustave Moreau, using as a theoretical tool the concept of “symbolic form” according to the understandings of Ernst Cassirer and Erwin Panofsky. It is argued that the notion of “symbolic forms” offers the possibility of an integration between the visual and philosophical-symbolic aspects peculiar to this period of Moreau’s oeuvre, that is: the dissociation of line and masses and the construction of a mythopoesis which explores dualisms such as that of spirit and matter.
