A painted glass goose - an example of Symbolist art. This was on display at the Corning Museum of Glass. The goose is a detail from a larger free-standing painted glass screen, depicting all kinds of beautiful elements in nature and in the imagination. It is a piece from the Romantic period in art and literature from the 1890’s. The description next to the piece read, “Symbolist artists were interested in the primitive and exotic. They explored dream states and unusual forms of spiritualism. These artists tried to depict emotions, sensations, and other aspects of the non-visible world. Their interest in the intangible influenced the development of abstraction in 20th-century art.”

I am into that..
