LIT126 CM - Poetry and Painting

The course will explore the thematic and structural affinities between poetry and painting from classical antiquity to the present day. Each class will be structured around the study and discussion of a single painting or poem selected from among the materials for that week. The class will cultivate the practice of careful, slow reading and seeing. Readings for the course will discuss the relationship between the two arts, the notion of arts being connected, and notions of what role art might play in life.
