Baudelaire and Delacroix’s Art of Ambiguity

Master thesis | Media Studies (MA)
The main subject of this thesis is “ambiguity”. This thesis focuses on the work by the poet Charles Baudelaire and by the painter Eugène Delacroix as objects of research, and approaches the art of ambiguity by these two artists from the perspective of color. It studies how Baudelaire and Delacroix use colors to evoke perceptual and conceptual ambiguity, adopting a cross-disciplinary methodology to examine the particular visual and verbal rhetoric that they use in their works.
