Wallace Stevens' and Joan Miro's Surrealist Cosmicscape

Zusatztext

This work will focus on the relations between poetry and painting referring to the famous dictum, "ut pictura poesis" and their outcomes together with their reflections both on the poets and painters as well as on some of their specific works released through their surrealist creativity primarily in the form of cosmic imagescape. This book also tries to conduct an analogical analysis of the relationship between poetry and painting known as "ut pictura poesis" as reflected in Wallace Stevens's "The Man with the Blue Guitar" (1937) and Joan Miro's "The Constellations" (1940-41) in terms of Surrealist movement and philosophy and the influences of art and literature during the second quarter of the twentieth century. In addition, it attempts to expose the interaction that yields a set of similar cosmic images composing cosmic imagescape, which is explored through a similar process of surrealist creativity by focusing specifically on the afore mentioned works.
