Summary/Abstract: Painted death gets its own voice in the role of one of Orhan Pamuk’s focalizers, proving that “the image” literally speaks. Wittily, the death image’s addressing, together with the ironic distance that every character occupies in Pamuk’s narrative, develops the possibility of having the image replace the voice of the character with the voice of the author. The voice belongs to the painting and the painter; hence, they share common identities that are translated into one another. It is questionable whether the death of the painter is the death of the image, too, or, when considering the theory of text-recipient-author, if in the artwork they each stand for their selves, integrating the idea of an ideal recipient?
