TY - JOUR TI - Perception et lecture dans Peintures de Victor Segalen AU - Kukuryk, Agnieszka TI - Perception et lecture dans Peintures de Victor Segalen AB - Perception and reading in Peintures by Victor Segalen Focusing on the search for a new form of artistic creation, French doctor, archaeologist and poet, Victor Segalen (1878–1919) created a collection of poems titled Peintures in which the literary and artistic space coexist and influence each other. In his poetic work, Segalen, considered above all to be the founder of an intercultural poetics between East and West attempted to recreate Chinese paintings through words. The aim of this paper will attempt to show that the “spoken paintings,” as he called them, were inspired by real Chinese paintings and the creative process of Chinese painting itself. The poet succeeds in producing within the reader’s consciousness a painting by enabling him to visualize images suggested by words and to create a “magic space.” Segalen moves away from linearity principle of a text and gives it the third dimension creating a total work of art.  VL - Tom 19 (2019) IS - Tom 19, Numer 2 PY - 2019 SN - 1732-8705 C1 - 2084-3917 SP - 107 EP - 117 DO - 10.4467/20843917RC.19.011.11701 UR - https://ejournals.eu/czasopismo/romanica-cracoviensia/artykul/perception-et-lecture-dans-peintures-de-victor-segalen KW - Victor Segalen KW - bilingual masterwork KW - French modernism KW - “spoken paintings”
