The painter's figures from balzac to proust compose an original romantic art history showing the relationship between man and reality. Looked on aesthetic effects, this pastiche, from a composition borrowed to la comedie humaine, spreads out a tragedy, firming social, physiological and philosophical principles and causes, rules for the hero as for his art work. The hypothesis relies on the increasing part of painting as essential element in the evolvement of perception and creation. The comparaison between fiction and reality offers a summary of the influences of the pictural expression upon the litterary one, those reciprocal of this peculiar hero, from a fiction to another one, on his own creator, defining the connection between the thing perceived and expressed, the writing and the reader.
Painter in nineteen century fiction. History of relations between litterature and painting, man and reality
De balzac a proust, les personnages de peintre composent une histoire romanesque de l'art originale qui illustre la relation entre l'homme et le reel. Ce pastiche, considere comme les effets esthetiques, se developpe, empruntant son plan a la comedie humaine, en une tragedie qui efinit les principes et les causes sociaux, physiologiques et philosophiques, regissant le heros et son oeuvre. Guidee par l'hypothese du role essentiel de la peinture dans l'evolution de la perception et de la creation, la comparaison entre la fiction et la realite propose une somme des influences de l'expression picturale sur l'expression litteraire, de celles, reciproques, de ce personnage particulier de roman en roman et sur son propre createur, peignant le rapport du percu et du rendu, de l'ecrit et du lecteur.
