esoteric

I'd say "esoteric". It's not a school of art, though, it refers to the imagery used by Martini in his work.
Try searching the Web for "esoteric" in combination with "symbolism" and/or "surrealism" you'll get plenty of hits.

"When the symbols are 'public' they usually act in an oblique manner, revealing themselves as archetypal symbols, which though familiar, have their central meanings obscured as is usual in esoteric imagery."

"Now you have taken the first metaphysical step into the field of Surrealism. Now search for the esoteric and, at times, erotic compositions, the moral and philosophycal inventions outside the framework of reality and let your visual perception nourish your aesthetic appreciation of the disturbing and hallucinatory images of Surrealism."
