DE LA PEINTURE D’UN TABLEAU À LA PEINTURE D’UNE VIE : LE ROMAN DULLE GRIET DE DOMINIQUE ROLIN
FROM PAINTING TO PAINTING A LIFE. THE NOVEL DULLE GRIET BY DOMINIQUE ROLLIN

Summary/Abstract: Identifying herself to the women, represented on the eponymous Pieter Brueghel’s painting, Dominique Rolin describes in her novel inspired by the work of the Flemish painter a world where the concepts of time and space are very vague. On the one hand, the novel follows the tradition of many Belgian writers such as Rodenbach and Maeterlinck, who consider that the art of painting is fundamental for the recognition of Belgian literature as authentic and independent among all literatures written in French; on the other hand, Dulle Griet’s figure allows the writer to approach her own life differently: newly read, newly written and newly painted.
