Abstract

The Present study entitled “Henry James’s Art of Employing Imagery: A Study” is to explore Henry James’ use of art objects and art imaginary in the delineation of characters. This research also examines how Henry James finds analogy between the art of the Painter and the art of the novelist in his attempt to represent life. The purpose of this study is to delineate how James’ use of images and his art of technique is presented in his works. James uses art imagery and art objects to underline his themes. In his works the sight of art and its insight merge as an organic unity of his works. This paper also elucidates how James establishes a balance between real and “romantic”.

Keywords: Henry James, Impressionism, Impressionist Movement, expressionism, Picturesque narration, device, sight and insight, real and romantic.

Painter and the Novelist

Henry James states that the analogy between the art of the painter and the art of the novelist is complete, as both "attempt to represent life" The imagination of the artist gives it an added dimension, an intensity, an individuality which cause to exclaim: "It is life itself. It was this intensity of "felt life", that James admired in the paintings of Tintoretto, the dramas of Shakespeare, the novels of Turgenev which he strove to achieve in his own work. James, like the painter and the sculptor, concerns himself in each of his works with relations and strives to achieve balance, rhythm and harmony to realize the ideal in the real. The characters, he paints on his canvas are seldom and symmetrical.
