Arts and Music Atlas
Claims this atlas currently marks as unsettled or as tested and found false. A debated fact is one scholars hold competing positions on; a debunked one has been checked against the record and found not to hold. Both are kept in view rather than quietly smoothed over, with the reasoning that put each one where it stands.

1910 is a conventional closing date associated with the late Romantic and early modernist transition in composers such as Mahler and Debussy; there is no agreed single end point, and late Romantic style persisted in some composers well into the twentieth century.

Andre Breton, the movement's founder and chief theorist, died in 1966, and the formal Surrealist group dissolved in 1969. Some historians treat the movement as continuing informally well beyond either date, so no single end year is fully settled.

TheArtStory dates Symbolism 1880 to 1910, describing it as a transition from Romanticism to modernism rather than a movement with a sharp closing event; 1910 is the source's own closing marker.
