In German literary Realism of the mid-to-late nineteenth century, drawing and painting frequently serve as a metaphor for what authors were expected to accomplish, while other times they warned against a literary art that only offered an unfiltered depiction of all the detail this world had to offer. This dissertation broadens the view of the role that discussion of visual arts play in German language Realism by focusing on the connections between visual arts and education presented in this literature. To this end, it analyzes the work of Realist authors who had a close relationship to the visual arts, while at the same time looking directly at visual art objectives, training and production practices of this time. In discussing of the work of Adalbert Stifter, Gottfried Keller, and Theodor Fontane, this dissertation reveals processes of learning and verbalizing: learning to see and to depict the real, and to transform depictions, visual images, into words. By dually engaging in close textual analysis and a study of historical art practices, this dissertation develops the argument that visual arts serve as a concrete way for writers to discuss the necessity of training and shaping of the Realist artist, to acknowledge the technical skills needed to create art, and to recognize that a writer or visual artist engages in a constantly evolving interaction with external reality. 2017 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1503067718362243 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1503067718362243 restricted--full text unavailable until 2022-12-18 This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
