Poetry : Are The Arts Of Painting And Poetry

In the two forms of art, imagery is used to provide an audience with an insight to multiple senses. Carla Starrett illustrates, “Both poems and lyrics

In the villanelle “One Art” written by Elizabeth Bishop, the poem dramatizes the conflict between the speaker wanting to let go of the things that she has lost, but has a hard time doing so. This poem is worded in a way and tone that gives a heartbreaking effect to the reader as the speaker discusses what she has lost and how “[t]he art of losing isn’t hard to master” (Line 1, and also others). As the poem progresses, it is revealed that the speaker is unsure about letting go and has a challenging time with it.

The lines are enjambed with phrases stopping in the middle of new lines and lines spilling into other lines. The lines do not pause to acknowledge the end of sentences like people seldom pause their daily lives to acknowledge the suffering of those around them. Auden also uses bad syntax in the last line of the poem, "had somewhere to get to and sailed calmly on.” Auden may have chosen to write in this free form to demonstrate that people are so indifferent to what is going on around them that it does not make any difference what form the poem is written in, as it will only be overlooked and not given any attention. The form of the poem allows the reader to consider the ways in which suffering is masked by the frenzy of everyday life and that even the acknowledged suffering of others does not seem to be of any concern to anybody but the sufferer.

Williams's reason for his organization of the poems mirrors the way a person would view Brueghel's painting. For instance, Williams's last line of his poem is "Icarus Drowning" and that is most likely the last image your eyes focus on when looking at Brueghel's picture.

In the poem “To Paint a Water Lily” by Ted Hughes, the speaker conveys his attitude toward nature as perplexing, complex, and deceiving. He also expresses his opinion of the artist and the difficulties brought on by him trying to paint and recreate not only the picture of a water lily and its natural scene, but also capture the intense environment that is both peaceful and full of constant activity. The author achieves this through literary techniques such as: imagery and juxtaposition.

The art of painting dates back to pre-historic times, the finger used as a paintbrush on the canvas of cave walls. When it comes to painting, artists have many mediums to choose from: acrylics, oils, gouache, fresco, and watercolors. Watercolors is one of the toughest mediums to achieve, its transparent streaks almost impossible to cover up and its various techniques prestigous and precise, but satisfying when accomplished. The incentive a watercolor artist has to get a taste of perfecting their talents is impecable; therefore, striving for perfection can only be accomplished with the understanding of the watercolor history, the use of the tools of the trade, the practice of techniques, and observation of former artists’ approaches.

“Painting is silent poetry, and poetry is painting that speaks.” - Plutarch. As Plutarch once said, painting is poetry because it sends a deeper message of what is represented. Every place has its artists some known some not that known, this essay has the purpose of noting Jessica Monroe, a local artist from the Valley who’s work, on my point of view, should be more recognize by other people.

The artists Jean-Honore Fragonard and Jaques-Louis David both successfully embody their respective stylistic differences. Fragonard’s style of painting is Rococo, which is characterized by its softness, asymmetry and curviness. Contrasting these ideals is David’s style of painting, Neo-Classicism. Neo-Classicism is synonymous with strong gestures, symmetry, and solidness. Two works that best exemplify the ideals of each style of painting are Fragonard’s The Swing, 1767 and David’s The Death of Socrates, 1787. Although at first glance, it is easier to focus on how each work is different to the other, one can argue that they are similar in theme. Both

The famous Greek historian Plutarch once said: “Painting is silent poetry, and poetry is painting that speaks”. He couldn’t have been more astute. By analysing poetry, we are not just appreciating the soul of the poet and what drove him/her, but we also come to comprehend the spirit of the period that the poet was writing.

When having to choose two works of art to compare and analyze, it had occurred to me that one of my all time favorite artist has always been Vincent Van Gogh. After searching through countless of Van Gogh’s magnificent works of art, I knew I wanted to analyze ‘Houses in Auvers’. Once I chose my first painting, the second piece fell right into place. Since Van Gogh was a painter in the post impressionist movement, deciding to choose another painter from that movement worked out well. I chose, ‘Auvers, Panoramic View’, painted by Paul Cezanne. A majority of people admiring these paintings would realize at least two elements: houses, and the beauty. Although, looking beyond the beauty of the town, there are many more comparisons.

Through Ariana’s expression, Chirico emphasizes the mental anguish that Ariana seems to experience as a silent statue. Because Ariana has to remain silent, she perhaps feels a sense of confinement (underscored by Chirico’s use of dark colors and shadows) in her situation of immobility. W.H. Auden’s poem, “Musee Des Beaux Arts,” explores humanity’s indifference to other people’s hardships. The first half of Auden’s poem demonstrates examples of Auden’s observations from Pieter Brueghel paintings. In the first stanza, Auden mentions that “for the miraculous birth, there always must be children who did not specially want it to happen, skating on a pond at the edge of

"A picture can paint a thousand words." I found the one picture in my mind that does paint a thousand words and more. It was a couple of weeks ago when I saw this picture in the writing center; the writing center is part of State College. The beautiful colors caught my eye. I was so enchanted by the painting, I lost the group I was with. When I heard about the observation essay, where we have to write about a person or thing in the city that catches your eye. I knew right away that I wanted to write about the painting. I don’t know why, but I felt that the painting was describing the way I felt at that moment.

Imagery has been one of the most pivotal movements in the cultural and intellectual history of English Literature. The comparison is not only among the works of their own rather it also includes the differences and traces of similarity with the works of others writers of different ages. The analysis is done by reading the actual text and interpreting the meaning by understanding the deep phrases hidden in the poetry. Different critics showed different aspects by their research. Some found out merits and some found out demerits in the works of Wordsworth and Coleridge. The merits includes uniqueness, healing power of poetry, and interpretation of their imagination for things whereas the demerits include slack of humour, lack of range and lyricism in their poetry. On a whole Wordsworth and Coleridge works have gained lot of interest and tempted many critics to write on their methods and strategies which they adopted in their work.

Poets use many ways when they want to communicate something using poems. Poems are used as a means of passing ideas, information and expression of feelings. This has made the poets to use the natural things and images that people can relate with so that they can make these poems understandable. The most common forms of writing that are used by the poets are the figurative language for example imagery and metaphors. In addition, the poets use the natural landscape in their attempt to explore the philosophical questions. Therefore, this essay will explore the forms that have been used by the poets in writing poems using the natural landscape. The essay will be based on poems such as ‘Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening’ by
