Annotation

The subject of the article is the oeuvre of Lithuanian émigré poet and painter Edita Nazaraitė. The paper aims at finding common, unifying features of her poems and pain- tings and tries to highlight some of the image-building strategies. A comparative seman- tic analysis of Nazaraitė’s poetic imagery, highlighting its links with the artwork, is car- ried out. The article reveals how poetic and art “texts” meet. It is noted that the poems and paintings share the same dominant images — a cat, horse, butterfly, women’s silhouette, and others. Nazaraitė’s poetry is visual, full of details and objects, and her paintings in vivid colors are as if telling the story of a woman’s life.
