Art in Literature 16-19 March
Art has always engaged the imagination of the workers in the neighbouring field of literature where words grow rather than visual images. This course will offer a taster of fiction and poetry which illustrates the range of treatments given to the subject of Art. The writing will be of different periods, and so will the paintings. Wherever appropriate, we will look at some of the art which stimulated the literature, too.
