A lecture of the Bydgoszcz Academy of Art

Is art present only in galleries and museums? How do writers perceive paintings? What relationships can be there between images and words? In what way is literature enriched by visual art, and how does literature enables richer perception of visual art? The “Presentation of visual art in literature” lecture will touch upon some issues related to so-called “correspondence of arts.”
