Символізм віршів П. Елюара у камерно-вокальних творах Франсиса Пуленка
The symbolism of the poetry of P. Eluard in the chamber and vocal works of F. Poulenc

Summary/Abstract: The purposes of the article are to review the features of the relation between poetical symbolism of P. Eluard (in the vers libre genre) and musical genre melody in the chamber and vocal cycles of F. Pulenc (1937-1956) and to define the influence of the artistic work on the evolution of the musical portraits genre. Methodology. The deep psychological processes in the process of the creation of a harmonious unity of the poetic and musical text are studied by using the evolutionary and structural methods. The author uses historical, logical, analytical and comparative methods to analyse the poetical and musical texts. Scientific Novelty. The scientific novelty is the researching of the psychologism of musical portraits in the chamber and vocal genre that has not been well researched in scientific literature. The analysis of the text features gives the opportunity to the confirmation of links among the symbolism of P. Eluard’s poems, the music of F. Poulenc, and avant-garde fine art in intertextual space. Conclusions. Analyzing P. Eluard’s myths and images, based on the archetypal motives in F. Poulenc melodies, we can see the overall archetypal idea of immortality. Poulenc creates the musical form to describe how Eluard thought about myths. His personal perception of Eluard’s poetry is accessible and easy to understand. The psychologism of the artist’s image corresponds to the concepts and metaphors, a component and practical basis of archetypal psychology of J. Hillman. The synthesis of the arts creates the multidimensional perception, gives another dimension to the existence of the musical portrait genre, has signs of psychology, and considerably strengthens the emotional impact. The artistic works of F. Poulenc are a harmonious fusion of French musical tradition and innovation. In the evolutionary development of the musical portraits genre, F. Poulenc goes from the imitation of instrumental program-based music to the creation of his own unique interpretation of the genre, featuring a new philosophy that is associated with the deepening of human psychology and the evolution of humankind.
