Discussing the ancient notion of ekphrasis, this study examines the interpenetration of literary and non-literary art. The author demonstrates how ekphrasis is useful for reading contemporary novels that feature non-representative, conceptual works of art by taking a close look at the works of Don DeLillo, Paul Auster and Tom McCarthy.
The relationship between the arts has fascinated people for centuries. Discussing the ancient notion of ekphrasis, this study examines the interpenetration of literary and non-literary art. Traditionally, ekphrasis is defined as a rhetorical device for the poetic description of a painting or a sculpture that has been steadily gaining attention in literary studies since the mid-twentieth century. Taking a close look at the works of Don DeLillo, Paul Auster and Tom McCarthy, the author demonstrates how ekphrasis is useful for reading contemporary novels that feature non-representative, conceptual works of art.
