Ten Poems about Art
Poems about art have a long and vivid history, and some of our greatest poets have tried to capture in verse the beguiling worlds of colour on canvas with 10 quirky and interesting poems about art compiled here in this booklet that can be kept, or gifted instead of a greeting card
Geoff Dyer's chosen a wide-ranging selection to encourage us to look at familiar and unfamiliar paintings and artists with fresh eyes.
We find ourselves in Vermeer's studio next door to a rowdy alehouse and meet a Bonnard nude day-dreaming in her bathtub. There's a contemplative poem capturing the calm of a Vuillard interior, and then there's life as one of Miró's dots:
"So here I am, on the edge of animation,
a dream, a dance, a fantastic construction,
A child's adventure"
- from 'I Would Like to be a Dot in a Painting by Miró' by Moniza Alv
The Ten Poems about Art will remind all artists that any painting worth its salt has a thousand different meanings
Poems by Fleur Adcock, Moniza Alvi, WH Auden, Sue Hubbard, Mark Doty, Linda France, Mimi Khalvati, RS Thomas, Tomas Tranströmer and William Carlos Williams.
