From 1861 to 1902, the Danish sculptor Niels Hansen Jacobsen (1861-1941) settled in Paris, one of the capitals of early Symbolism, nourished by exchanges and friendships between writers, musicians, and artists from all over Europe. The sculptor's studio in the Cité Fleurie, at 65 Boulevard Arago, was the meeting place for a group of Nordic and Francophile Symbolists, notably the painters Jens Lund and Henriette Hahn-Brinckmann. The emulation was all the more lively because Hansen Jacobsen's studio neighbors included the ceramist and collector Paul Jeanneney, the sculptor and ceramist Jean Carriès, and the illustrator and poster artist Eugène Grasset. The book, through unique works, reveals the creative vivacity of these artists who "fight with the flame" and confront their demons to give body to the Unspeakable.
