Subject:

Description:

Throughout the 20th century, painters and poets evolved and worked side by side in the same avant-garde movements. Students read critical and theoretical texts that reflect an ongoing dialogue between painting and poetry. If literature can be a tool for examining painting, can visual aesthetics help with the reading of poetry? Readings include work by Apollinaire, Aragon, Artaud, Bonnefoy, Breton, Jaccottet, Leiris, Michaux, Paulhan, Ponge, Reverdy, and Valéry.
