文学与绘画分属两种艺术门类,有着本质上的区别和差异,表现形式和手段也各不相同。但正是因为这些差异,为它们的互补提供了可能性。19世纪,西方美术界开始尝试突破传统的绘画规范,提倡绘画对生活的真实表现。一些画家常常在文学作品中寻求素材,赋予绘画情节和诗意。本文以19世纪的英国绘画为例,探讨和研究英国现代绘画与文学之间的关系。 Literature and painting belong to two kinds of art categories, with the essential differences and differences, manifestations and means are also different. But precisely because of these differences, they provide the possibility of complementarity. In the 19th century, the western art circles began to try to break through the traditional painting norms and advocated the true performance of painting in life. Some painters often seek material in literary works, endowing them with plotting and poetic painting. Taking 19th century English painting as an example, this paper explores and studies the relationship between modern British painting and literature.
