Imagery
1. IMAGERY
Politics will eventually be replaced by imagery. The politician will be
only too happy to abdicate in favor of his image, because the image
will be much more powerful than he could ever be.
Marshall McLuhan
2. ◦ The use of vivid or figurative language to
represent objects, actions, or ideas.
◦ The use of expressive or evocative images in
art, literature, or music.
◦ A group or body of related images, as in a
painting or poem.
Imagery
3. Oxford Dictionary of Literary Terms:
imagery, a rather vague critical term covering those uses of language
in a literary work that evoke sense‐impressions by literal or figurative
reference to perceptible or ‘concrete’ objects, scenes, actions, or
states, as distinct from the language of abstract argument or
exposition. The imagery of a literary work thus comprises the set
of images that it uses; these need not be mental ‘pictures’, but may
appeal to senses other than sight. The term has often been applied
particularly to the figurative language used in a work, especially to its
metaphors and similes. Images suggesting further meanings and
associations in ways that go beyond the fairly simple identifications of
metaphor and simile are often called symbols. The critical emphasis on
imagery in the mid‐20th century, both in New Criticism and in some
influential studies of Shakespeare, tended to glorify the supposed
concreteness of literary works by ignoring matters of structure,
convention, and abstract argument: thus Shakespeare's plays were
read as clusters or patterns of ‘thematic imagery’ according to the
predominance of particular kinds of image (of animals, of disease,
etc.), without reference to the action or to the dramatic meaning of
characters' speeches. See also motif.

ultimate Truth.”

HOMEWORK
Anna Louise Swynnerton, 1895Oil on canvas, 87.3 x 101cmAccession Number WAG2640The senses were a favourite subject for artists in the 17th century. They were usually represented in a fairly literal manner.Swynnerton, however, has painted an angel who seems to have descended to earth and now relies on her sight to re-establish her links with heaven. Her rapturous expression suggests not just sight but a vision.Swynnerton was a strong believer in equality for women in art. She was a founder of the Manchester Society of Women Painters. In 1922 she became the first female associate of the Royal Academy since the 18th century.
