Most socialist artists avoided symbolism back then. They preferred to shout out loud their revolutionary ideas in any media they could. That's why symbolists couldn't go forward with other comrades even though lots of them were very faithful communists... The conflict between art and communism comes from the way communism denies "individualism". That's why most of accomplished communist artists lived outside communist countries!
