"絵画は無言の詩であり詩は語りかける絵画である"
— Plutarch
Simplified Meaning:
Both painting and poetry are ways for people to show their thoughts and feelings creatively. A painting uses colors and shapes to tell a story without using words. Think of a beautiful landscape painting that makes you feel calm just by looking at it. On the other hand, poetry uses words to paint a picture in your mind and stir up emotions. Imagine reading a poem about a sunset that makes you see it vividly in your imagination. Both art forms communicate emotions and stories, but they do it in different ways—one with visuals and the other with words. When someone appreciates a painting, they are interpreting the “poetry” the artist silently conveys through their artwork. Similarly, when they read poetry, it feels like seeing a picture drawn out of words. To use this idea in everyday life, try expressing your feelings through different forms of art, whether drawing, writing, or even combining both.
