Why literature and Painting Go Hand in Hand
Malak Wehbe
reason 1: Deviation
Negative space is used like the positive space in painting. Forexample in cubist paintings, Braques used the negative space like the positive space to give the illusion of a new world of simple shapes in the House at L’Estaque. As shakespeare’s play Antonio and Cleopatra, used the noun boy as a verb of playing in the scene of Anthony accusing Cleopatra of playing with his reputation.
Reason 2: Deixis am Phantasma
Retrospective and prospective memories,the past and the future, are depiction of memories and imagination to create a fantasy world.House at L’Estaque includes observation and imagination.He simplified the complex place into childlike and simple shapes in oblique tension.
The heart of Darkness includes memory of natural scenes and imagination.They were facing fog as if they are burried in a cotton ball.
Reason 3: Visual Perception
Whether an insect scurrying on the lofty porcelain , burried in a cotton ball, an emaciated man or demons in the wilderness, Conrad managed to capture this feeling and engraved images inthe reader’s world. Tension asif the sloppiness is about to drag the viewer in this unsteadiness in the House at L’Estaque.
Reason 4: Emotions
Both Heart of Darkness novel and the House at L’Estaque painting evoke fear and unsteadiness.
