Research Abstract

The aim of my research project was to analyse the nature and outcomes of the creative relationship between French poetry and plastic arts. Authors examined included the poets of L'Ephemere-a French poetry magazine published from 1967 to 1972 whose works were strongly inspired by the art of Alberto Giacometti. My research focused more specifically on critical and poetic essays that Yves Bonnefoy wrote on Giacometti; these two artists were both involved in the early Surrealist movement. Referring to Jean-Paul Sartre’s critical viewpoint about Surrealism, I attempted to clarify how bothBonnefoy and Giacometti struggled to pave their own way towards post-surrealistic forms of art-even if their respective works followed very different ways.
