Main Theme: "The
Poem / The Picture":
A Dialogue Between Poetry and Painting
Poets have
had a creative dialogue with painting and plastic
arts since ancient times. Baudelaire has pointed
out that modern artistic expressions tend to complement
and share new power among each other. Established
in the ancient saying ut pictura poiesis,
the interest in the interaction between poetry and
painting has reached its climax in the past decade
or so.
The 2006 symposium of the international Struga Poetry
Evenings festival, "The Poem/The Picture":
A Dialogue Between Poetry and Painting, has
been envisioned as a dialogue between poets and
painters or experts in theory and aesthetics. The
papers and the discussions may refer to (but not
be limited by) some of the following guidelines:
Guidelines:
- Poetry in dialogue with painting
- Poetic image vs. artistic picture
- Description of artistic works in poetry (ecphrasis)
- Paintings as illustrations of a poetic work
- Transposition of pictures into poetic contexts
- The poetic text as a re-creation of the painting
- The poem as "reading/interpretation" of a painting
- The poem as a "talking pucture"
- Intermediary poetry as ars poetica/ars pictoria
- The image of the artist (painter/sculptor/carver) in poetry
- Stylistic analogies between poetic and artistic works
- Creative exchange between poetry and painting
- Rivalry/competition among the arts
- The poem as an homage to a painter/painting
- The visual semiosis of poetry
- The reader as a spectator
- Visual poetry as simultaneous poetic, meditative and artistic expression
- Poetry in dialogue with history of art
