Carlo Michelstaedter poeta e pittore

The essay by Luca Bani investigates the deep thematic interconnections among the philosophical enquiry, the lyrical writing and the figurative production of Carlo Michelstaedter through a comparative analysis of some of his best-known poems – "Cade la pioggia", "Nostalgia", "Alla sorella Paula", "I figli del mare" - and a choice of his most significant paintings as "Processione di ombre", "Far di se stesso fiamma" and "Ai bagni di Grado".
