Painting as writing. A walk through Riera's museums
Keywords:
Carme Riera, ut pictura poesis, balearization, Fernando Botero, Edward HopperAbstract
This article attempts to situate and analyze a representative number of the paintings found in the literary works by Carme Riera, as they trace a recurring theme through women and the landscape. Three of the multiple perspectives that the above-cited relationship permits will be considered: the use of pictures as a source for the literary argument in Una primavera per a Domenico Guarini, Lassa, més t'hauria valgut and Escenarios para la felicidad; the use of images infused with a concrete and precise meaning in L'estiu de l'anglès, Amb ulls americans and Temps d'una espera; and finally the evocation of images suggested by the literary sequences in Contra l'amor en companyia and La meitat de l'ànima.
