I found a book with art I really like in it: "The Symbolists". Here is some work by Jan Toorop (1858-1928), a Dutch artist (http://www.jan-toorop.com). According to my book, he was born in Java, and his characters resemble "the intricate silhouetted puppets with long thin arms that are typical of the Javanese shadow theater". Shipwreck Fatalism The Three Brides O grave, where is thy victory?

yeah, lots of symbolism in Dutch art. How cool that one of my favorites is the next one?

If you ever get the chance, you should visiting the Netherlands and check out some of these paintings in person. Phenomenal.
