Timken Museum Virtual Talk - Paintings & Poetry, Inspiring Each Other Across Centuries

Join Timken Museum of Art for a fun filled virtual talk!

Leonardo de Vinci once said, "Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen." Over the centuries, poets have inspired visual artists to create imagery displaying emotion and summarizing the stories told in their poetry.

Conversely, painters display emotion, political comment and humanity, which capture the imagination of the poet and are translated to the written word.
