Symbolist movement had an effect on the artistic and literary/theatrical movements and phenomena that followed and evolved in the 20^thand the 21^stcenturies. As an example it is possible to mention Surrealism, Abstract Art, atonal music, avant-garde theater, the relationship between the text and the music, the relationship between art, music, literature and philosophy. Symbolism also had an impact on movements that in appearance had nothing in common with Symbolism, but were partially born as a reaction to Symbolism, such as Acmeism, Constructivism, and Futurism. Symbolism had an influence on specific visual artists, writers, musicians of the 20^thand early part of the 21^stcenturies, just to cite a few from the 20^thcentury: Picasso, Matisse, Kandinsky, Malevich, and many others.
