⁂ Hugo Reinhold Karl Johann Höppener (1868-1948), who went by the pseudonym Fidus, was a German illustrator, painter, and publisher. Associated with the symbolist movement, his later works were influenced by Art Nouveau and the Vienna Secession styles. By the early 20th century, his art had become highly popular in Germany, and its rediscovery later inspired the Psychedelia movement. His creations were deeply rooted in his fascination with mysticism and Germanic neopaganism
