Między tekstami. Interferencje sztuk jako przykład relacji intertekstualnej

The article focuses on intertextual relationships observed between literature and painting. The visual and linguistic systems comprising these art forms belong to different semiotic codes, which materialise through secondary modelling systems. The modelling systems, in turn, consist of relational signs and are governed by rules allowing for alternative modes of combination. The relational signs are ontologically discrete and, as a result, have a greater connotative than denotative potential. The rules of combination are restricted by literary genres, composition, and a painting perspective that constitute the macrostructure of a text. The aim of the article is to present how languages and visual signs express the same mental operations and establish an intertextual dialogue in a literary and visual text. The premise of the study is the assumption that a word and a picture are equivalent and translatable. Therefore, the grounds for their description should be the composition of signs and its relationship with other texts of culture, not the form that constitutes them
