Sinopsis
Excerpt from English Poetry in Its Relation to Painting and the Other Arts, Vol. 8
All the arts of man spring from a single well of inspiration. They spring from the deep impulse and desire to create an ideal world more true to our real selves, more adequate to our innate conceptions, than anything we can achieve in actual existence. In the affairs of life, circumstances are so obstinate and hindering, human relations so intricate, that even the finest and the strongest spirits have to accept much compromise and failure. But in the innocent and disinterested world of art mankind breathes freer, sees clearer, and comes nearer to the life it would like to live. The unifying principle of all the arts is rhythm; for the movement of life, unimpeded by circumstances, is naturally rhythmical, and art expresses life at its fullest and most intense.

Excerpt from English Poetry in Its Relation to Painting and the Other Arts, Vol. 8
I have no intention of attempting any long disquisition on the relation of the arts to one another, and in particular on the relation of poetry to the other arts.
Were we theorizing in the abstract, we might perhaps relate poetry most closely to music. But actually we shall have very much more to say of the relations between poetry and painting. Music and poetry are very near in their origin. Both alike find expression through the rhythms of sound. But as mature arts they have far less in common.
Music, like Architecture, is independent of representation or the imitation of Nature. But neither poetry nor painting is in this condition. In either art it is possible to attenuate the matter so that almost nothing but the rhythmic element is left; to make a poem that relies almost entirely on sound, or a painting that relies almost entirely on arabesque. But the poet or painter attempts these things at his peril. Poetry and painting (sculpture also within its more limited range) are in a parallel condition so far as the relation of matter to form is concerned. Alike in painting and poetry, the rhythmic element, stronger perhaps and more explicit in poetry, evokes an emotional mood. We are wrought to a heightened pitch of sensibility; and in this state the subject-matter of painter or poet comes to us with a glow and force such as our senses never experience in the daily traffic of existence. In a perfect example of either art this subject-matter is fused with the form, so that we cannot dissolve them from one another. This was the meaning of Pater's saying that all the arts aspire towards the condition of music, where form and matter are one. Pater's sound doctrine on this point has been very generally accepted; but his statement of it implies a certain prejudice against poetry which has soaked into current opinion: so that at the present day there is among many artists and critics of art a curious horror of the intrusion into art of anything which might be suspected of being literature. I think this may derive from Pater's really astonishing assertion that 'story and sentiment' are the medium of poetry, and that these, not rhythm and imagery, correspond to line and colour in a painting. It has since been a common assumption that painting is in the same condition as music, and that poetry is in a different category. This, I believe, is a fundamental error.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. Unveiling the profound interplay between the arts, this book explores the intricate relationship between English poetry and painting throughout history. The author traces the ebb and flow of this connection, highlighting periods of fruitful exchange and moments of isolation. From the Middle Ages to the Romantic era, the book examines the reciprocal influence of poetry and painting, delving into the rich imagery, pictorial language, and shared themes that characterized these periods. The author demonstrates how the absence of a strong pictorial tradition in certain eras hindered the growth of English art, while moments of flourishing creativity in poetry stimulated innovation in the visual arts. Through insightful analysis and historical context, the book sheds light on the essential unity of human imagination and the vital role of the arts in expressing our deepest emotions and experiences. By exploring the interconnectedness of poetry and painting, it offers a broader understanding of both mediums, revealing how they have shaped and complemented each other throughout the tapestry of English history.
