She shows how the concept of natures experimentsthe belief that the study of pathologies led to an understanding of scientific truths, above all about the human mind and bodyextended from the scientific realm into the world of art, underpinned artists solutions to the problem of symbolist form, and provided a ready-made methodology for fin-de-sicle truth seekers.
