Ut pictura poesis is Latin, literally As is painting so is poetry . The statement often repeated occurs most famously in Horace s Ars Poetica , near the end, immediately after the other most famous quotation from Horace s treatise on poetics , bonus dormitat Homerus , or Homeric nod even Homer nods an indication that even the most skilled poet can compose inferior verse Poetry resembles painting. Some works will captivate you when you stand very close to them and others if you are at a greater distance. This one prefers a darker vantage point, that one wants to be seen in the light since it feels no terror before the penetrating judgment of the critic. This pleases only once, that will give pleasure even if we go back to it ten times over. Quoting from http www.english.emory.edu DRAMA ArsPoetica.html English translation Horace meant that poetry in its widest sense, imaginative texts merited the same careful interpretation that was, in Horace s day, reserved for painting. Horace s formula, equating the sister arts , has proved more often a stimulus for dissent than for any useful theorizing on the resemblance between images and texts. Gotthold Ephraim Lessing Lessing opens the Laoco n 1766 by observing that the first who compared painting with poetry & 91 Simonides of Ceos Simonides & 93 was a man of fine feeling, Citation needed date December 2010 though, Lessing makes it clear, not a critic or philosopher. Lessing argues that painting is a synchronic, visual phenomenon, one of space that is immediately in its entirety understood and appreciated, while poetry again, in its widest sense is a diachronic art of the ear, one that depends on time to unfold itself for the reader s appreciation. He recommends that poetry and painting should not be confused, and that they are best practiced and appreciated as two equitable and friendly neighbors. Citation needed date December 2010 W. J. T.
