Text et langaje visuel: un proces de mise en abîme

Abstract

The problem of the pictorial past in literature and of literary influences in painting has created a whole tradition. The literary experience of the image and the pictorial exercise in literature demonstrated the affinities between them, based on a specific view of the world. From contemporary philosophy, culture and literature, painting chooses its elements, symbols and ideational background, which is the substrate of the pictorial work. Translating them into the language of images, the painter reaches a more personal interpretation of literary works. The article presents a reflection on the prolific artistic career of the artist Cezar Secrieru, whose work creates a unique creative dynamic by transposing the mental and literary image into his canvases. The “Correspondences” of the arts enrich the deep ideational background of his creation, but also the diversification of the pictorial meanings potential.
