Dear everyone,
I've had some discussions recently following from a remark by a friend that the distinction between
visual art and poetry is reactionary, similarly to the hard and fast distinction that used to be made between sculpure and painting.
Personally I can't help but thinking that even though often the distinction is blurred, there remains an essential difference between the two; namely, that visual art might, but need not use language, but for poetry, however widely understood, language is an essential ingredient.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
Thanks and best, Jeroen
