Abstract

We start by analysing a painting installation by Jo Heijnen ad we study the different art istic languages and how they can cope together for creating new pieces. Then, we study Baricco’s works and the mixture of literary genres we can easily spot in his texts. We end by studying Mr Gwyn, where the author plays mixing words and painting.
