The Color Expression Of Elizabeth Bishop's Poetry

The use of color with great personal style and artistic value is one of the remarkable characteristics of Bishop's poetry writing.Her poetry has a clear sense of picture and shows a strong sense of color and space.Color is not only the visual embodiment of poetry,but also the externalization of the poet's aesthetic and perception.Studying the color expression of Bishop's poetry will help us to better understand the whole picture of its poetry connotation.As a moderate,objective and recognized writer who avoids self infatuation and superficial lyricism,Bishop always emphasizes the expression and emotion that are loyal to the description object and the details.Therefore,one of the best ways to interpret her poems is to visualize her works and try to restore some vision that the poet wants to leave in the reader's mind and heart Impression.Bishop always regards color as an important part of his poetic language,but at different stages of her creation,the way and idea of using color are also changing correspondingly.Different from the usual linear evolution,Bishop's color expression style is more like a process of retrospection and Transcendence:she was infatuated with surrealism in her early days,and the color in her works also has strong imagination,emphasizing the transcendence of convention and reality.After entering the mature period of creation,Bishop's advocating of objective writing quality has been more significantly reflected.She is returning to the more traditional reproduction art of imitating nature--Impressionism.Through the subtle color changes of various objects under the influence of light,she describes the scene,sets off the atmosphere,and realizes the transmission of poetic language to soul,feeling and emotion.In the later period of bishop's creation,the poet finally achieved the integration of the two poles,and formed her own literary aesthetic dimension and color expression based on the post-modern present.The poems completed by the poet in this period are also considered as her best works by the critics.This paper mainly uses the interdisciplinary research method of the combination of poetry and painting,the application of color theory,based on the poetry text,combined with the poet's creation concept and living background,starting from the color theory of painting theory,to explore the mutual penetration of poetry and painting creation methods and the integration of modern aesthetic thoughts in the field of poetry and painting.This paper uses the method of longitude and latitude analysis,which combines the horizontal and vertical,according to the evolution of bishop's creative style,combining the absorption of various art schools in different periods and the influence of natural and human atmosphere in different places of residence,to explore the internal differences of color in his poetry creation.Horizontally,from the analysis of the use and collocation of color words to the interpretation of their symbolic meaning and aesthetic connotation in poetry,this paper studies Bishop's application of color as a metaphor bridge in poetry,from focusing on color composition to color expression,from the external world to the internal mind,and the realization process of externalizing the internal world.
