Ut Poesis Pictura: Painted Text

Summary/Abstract: The classical theme of the relationship between poetry and painting can be revisited in the context of the contemporary practice of painting (visual art), which, after centuries of exclusion, incorporates text into the space of the image. Over the last half century or so, 126 such violations of boundaries have been frequent. In the case of the painted text, it is natural, but also surprising, that it has a poetic and/or painterly quality. I will try to describe this particular situation through the work of a few artists. Firstly, I will highlight the poeticity of the painted text (René Magritte, Barbara Kruger, On Kawara), and then the painterly quality of the painted text (Cy Twombly, Ben Vautier, Anatol Knotek). The selection is arbitrary: I have tried to present authoritative but different solutions from the possible versions of the painted text. With regard to the painted text, following Barthes, it can be said that the painted text, the embodied text, is a marked case of the pleasure text.
