Pictorialism in the Fictional Miniatures of Albert Paris Gütersloh

This volume highlights the writer and painter Albert Paris Gütersloh's artistic duality by focusing on his «fictional miniatures», i.e. the short prose works. This book demonstrates that Gütersloh's written and painted works are of a distinctly unified and analogous nature, exemplified most succinctly in the artist's fictional miniatures when juxtaposed with his painted miniatures. By isolating such compositional elements as delineation, framing, staging, setting, and colour - both descriptive and metaphorical - the author establishes that in his fictional miniatures Gütersloh persistently thinks and writes in «pictures», working from a largely pictorial conception and a visually creative imagination.
