Produktbeschreibung
This challenging and ambitious work
studies the interdisciplinary subject of painting
and writing, in the context of British Modernism, in
the first half of the twentieth century. Searching
for the European, continental influences and
artistic impacts, the study focuses on Virginia
Woolf and her novels, and her sister, Vanessa Bell
and her paintings. Portraits, both literary and
painterly, are observed and analysed through the
selected works of the artists. The study
challenges the written text, searching for
the 'painterly' the metaphoric and the metonymic
level of meaning in the texture of Woolf's writings.
Illustrations of selected paintings in
black and white, analysed throughout the study, are
present in the text. They stand for an addition to
the theoretical chapters. This book presents an
exciting panorama of dinamic thoughts and ideas both
for professionals and for all literature and art
lovers.
