Abstract:
The stories of Mansfield show a strong affinity with seventeenth and eighteenth-century paintings. It is interesting to observe how Mansfield`s Modernist narratives activate in the reader`s mind the pictures and genres typical of past artistic epochs. ; Her stories abound in all types of references to Old Masters` paintings - one can find verbal representations of flowers and/or fruit compositions, arrangements with musical instruments or with food and/or kitchen utensils. ; Many of these pictorial descriptions can be viewed as instantiations of "hypotyposis", a concept that is broad enough to allow for various associations: while some readers will point to those elements of the description which hint at the influences of Paul Cezanne, others will indicate features that bring to mind Claude Monet or Mary Cassat, whereas still others will identify the subtle charm of Jean Chardin, the ambience of Johannes Vermeer`s interiors, or meticulous food arrangements by Francisco Zurbaran. ; The article seeks to establish analogies between Old Masters` compositions, (with the focus on still life, "vanitas" and genre painting) and Mansfield`s narrative structures.
