Symbolic meaning is the use of symbols to express ideas and qualities, by giving them different symbolic meanings from the literal meaning. Aestheticism (also the aesthetic movement) is a knowledge and art movement that supports the focus of aesthetic values beyond the social and political themes of literature, art, music and other arts.  This means that art from this particular movement focuses more on beauty than on a deeper meaning - "art for art". Particularly prominent in 19th-century Europe are Walter Pater and Oscar Wilde, famous figures, but contemporary critics are also concerned with sports, such as Harold Bloom, who recently opposed the prominence of social and political ideological literary works. He believes that it is an increasingly serious problem in the 20th-century humanities sector.
