| Description: |
Conceived as a project of two disciplines, this text forms part of an exhibition and symposium which explores the thinking about the visual arts and literary writing. This volume examines works of art made by writers and identifies the writings of visual artists. |
| Synopsis: |
For centuries an artist adept in one medium has found solace, encouragement, and inspiration in another, even to the point of merging them. Michelangelo put down his chisel to pick up his pen; Blake pictorialized his poetry; Max Ernst collaged narratives; Gertrude Stein adopted a cubist style. This bicameral interplay of the verbal and pictorial has never been more pronounced than in our own time. The Dual Muse explores a range of creative interrelationships between the visual arts and literary media in works by selected modern and contemporary artists and authors. |
