Summary/Abstract: The aim of the text is to analyse Robert Rauschenberg’s illustrations for Dante’s Inferno as the examples of a correspondence between literature and visual arts. It also raises the issues of the mutual relation between a word and an image and the function of an illustration in a writing. In addition, two other polysemiotic artworks of American precursor of pop-art are discussed.
