This book explores interaction and competition between painting and
literature in France, from the late nineteenth century to the early
twentieth, offering new readings of works by key figures including
Paul Gauguin, Stephane Mallarme, Pablo Picasso and Andre Gide.
Combining close visual and literary analysis with a broader
examination of critical discourse, the volume uncovers a mutual but
often contentious exchange of ideas. The author challenges habits
of periodisation, drawing attention to the links between Symbolist
and Cubist criticism. Issues such as the debate about 'literary'
painting, the role of art criticism and artists' writings, as well
as themes such as newspapers and gold, alchemy and forgery, are
shown to connect the two centuries. In examining how the rejection
of mimesis in painting affected literary responses to the visual
arts, the book explores a shift in power from the verbal to the
visual in the early decades of the twentieth century.
