- Abstract
In his text Indirect Language and the Voices of Silence, the French philosopher Merleau-Ponty establishes a parallelism between literature and painting which is rather contrary to Sartre's way of thinking. This article —which can be considered a reformulation of Horace's statement ut pictura poesis, i.e., as is painting so is poetry, aims at showing that such a parallelism is a manifestation of Merleau-Ponty's indirect ontology; the text also seeks to illustrate how it is indeed possible to establish an inter-artistic relationship between literature —an artistic expression whose raw material is language— and painting —another artistic expression using colors and shapes. For Merleau-Ponty, both fornis of art are expressions of a pre-objective reality. Since his work is a permanent attempt to include such a reality, art begins to play an essential role in philosophic thinking while being a privileged expression of reality.
