Abstract(s)
The close relationship between painting and poetry has been long acknowledged by art historians and literary critics alike. It is not by accident that both painters and poets have responded to the specific nature of the variety of Northern landscapes on the Canadian artistic scene as well. Spatial knowledge has always been part and parcel of "Canadian existence", therefore, it serves as a source of inspiration for artistic expression creating moods in the viewers' psychic and mental responses to the environment. The paper focuses on selected works by the Group of Seven comparing them with a random choice of poems. The case studies are thematically arranged. They illustrate how the brushstrokes and their literary equivalents compose themselves into convincing evocations of landscapes.
Le rapport étroit entre peinture et poésie est une évidence depuis longtemps pour des historiens de l'art et des critiques littéraires également. Ce n'est pas un hasard que peintres et poètes réagissent de la même façon aux paysages du Nord du Canada. Le savoir de l'espace faisait toujours partie de "l'existence canadienne" et comme telle serrait de source aux possibilités de l'experission artistique. Ces oeuvres créent une ambiance spéciale pour le public, à sa réaction physique et mentole concernant l'environment. Le présent article est consacré à quelques oeuvres de Group of Seven tout en les comparant à des poèmes choisis arbitrairement. Les études des cos sont groupés thématiquement pour illustrer comment les touches du pinceau et leurs corraspondants littéraires font un ensemble de conception de paysage.
