Swinburne (London, 5 April 1837 – London, 10 April 1909) was an English poet, playwright, novelist, and critic. He invented the roundel form and wrote several novels. As a poet, he was known to respond to already existing paintings, but he would respond using a poem. One of his poems were inspired from one of Whistler's paintings and it was called - Poem- Before The Mirror. It is also said that Whistler responded to this poem instead of the poet responding to him, but it is unknown which is correct.
My idea is to capture the quality of light in a way to make it seem like an illusion. To make the purpose of this even stronger, I decided to widen my range of ways to look at the light around London. Poetry is a great way to describe something using powerful words that quickly trigger your imagination.
I want to take this idea and go out responding to the light responding to poetry which is something I have never tried before and perhaps using different words to describe the light will have a different effect on how I end up drawing it.
Develop this further maybe?
