Tęsknota za realnością. Psychologiczna interpretacja odwołań do malarstwa i rzeźby w poezji Zbigniewa Herberta

Abstract

The author searches for an answer to the question of the sense of spatially expressed poetry through “quotations” of painting and sculpture. She discovers frequent references to spa- tiality of painting, sculpture and architecture in Zbigniew Herbert’s poetry, and she tries to explain those in terms of the functioning of the left and right brain hemispheres. In the binary opposition between visual signs (spatial, right-hemispheric) and language signs (temporal, left-hemispheric) additional meanings are found, which are attempted to be synthesized by the author.
