Rubén Darío y la pintura Principio ekfrástico y sinestesia // Rubén Darío and painting: Ekphrastic principle and synesthesia

Abstract

The article examines the relationships between literature and painting in the works of Rubén Darío. The issue is seen in the context of modernis synesthesia, which was strongly present in the literary ideology of the modernist discourse, and it is analyzed with the help of the theories of ekphrasis of Murray Krieger. In Darío’s canonical works painting plays an important role, both in the form of literary references, and the so called “transpositions of art”, in its intent to create a total art.
