Musicians Play (2001) Painting by Christopher English

Christopher English's Symbolist Paintings and Poetry Page.I show the symbolic images in my paintings as a complement to the imagery evoked in my poems. Ideas for the symbolism in my art derive from my poetry. Content of artwork is allegorical, full of metaphor, connotation and ambiguity. Discovery and suggestion from my imagination emerge during the painting process and are supplement to the poetry, yet has the intrinsic value of both poem and painting. Indeed, I show where the ideas in the paintings came from, hence this publication of my poems and paintings together.
