word paintings
Poems describing art
Word paintings are vivid verbal descriptions that create strong visual or sensory impressions, using language to evoke images as a painter might with brushstrokes.
The term also applies in music to passages where the composition mimics or illustrates the meaning of lyrics—a technique called text painting or tone painting.
The poet's word paintings of rural life made readers feel they were walking through the countryside themselves.
