Literature is ostensibly a sequential and thus temporal medium, and
painting a static and spatial one; yet writers like George Sand and
Emile Zola have attempted repeatedly to represent visual and
spatial phenomena in literary texts, just as painters like Eug ne
Delacroix and Claude Monet have sought consistently to capture
effects of time and movement on canvas. The incorporation of
elements from one artistic medium into another creates a dynamic
interplay of image and ideology, both between art forms and within
individual texts and paintings, which constitutes the crux of this
book. Each chapter involves the detailed analysis of a text and a
painting, related through topic, theme, and technique. By
juxtaposing the works of ten major writers and ten painters of
comparable stature, the book explores the various modalities and
layers of meaning in nineteenth-century French art, both verbal and
visual, and proposes ways of reading the ambivalent artifacts of
'modernity.'
