Henry Miller : pintura e escrita : algumas notas breves em torno de "To paint is to love again"
| Resumo: | Taking some of the main aspects of H. Miller's confessional essay To paint is to love again as a departure point, in the present text the author tries to expose the relationship that can be established between painting and writing, and even philosophy, in the work of the American novelist, not only from the perspective of a mere categorial classification, or as a simple exercise for the understanding of the meaning of his books and paintings on the basis of thematic analogies, but as a process of continuous and radical anthropological and poetic implications. So, Miller's work - novels, essays, ... - are taken here not only as an object of a specific literary approach, but as an example of the difficulties, and also the possibilities, that each modern author, if a great one, introduces in the field of contemporary culture. |
