Paralely mezi lingvistikou a malířstvím : ke vztahu Romana Jakobsona a Josefa Šímy

The study is based on information about the friendship between the painter Josef Šíma (1891–1971) and the linguist Roman Jakobson (1896–1982), exploring the extent to which Jakobson's impulse, as acknowledged by both, might have shaped the form of Šíma's work. This changed significantly after 1925 and expanded to include imaginative approaches associated with poetry. Did linguistic theory also play a role in these? Can Šíma's style, often associated with poetry, be clarified using Jakobson's linguistic analyses of poetry? In the comparisons which follow between fine art and poetry, it will not be so much a matter of motif or concept affinity as of analogies in the structure of poem and painting, as was clarified by the Prague Linguistic Circle, Roman Jakobson and Jan Mukařovský (1891–1975).
