Art is an expression of human emotions and experience distilled through artistic interpretations in various mediums, such as literature, painting, dance, and music. In Li Po's (701-762) poem, translated by Ezra Pound, the clear poetic descriptions in the five stanzas can be more fully illuminated by the study of Chinese art. The Imagist poets, such as William Carlos Williams, E. E. Cummings, Marianne Moore, and Wallace Stevens, drew inspiration from Eastern art forms and created a new style of poetry concentrating on the "raw power of the image to communicate feeling and thought." This lesson will examine Chinese art, paying specific attention to this "picture power."
