Abstract

The purpose of this thesis is to establish that Dr. Atl, in his creative writings, is as effective a painter in words as he is on canvas, and that he paints, in words as on canvas, through his sensibilities that - he presents Impressionistic verbal pictures that evolve from emotions of the moment.

Although Dr. Atl is especially famous for his Impressionistic paintings of landscapés, the writer has not limited herself to that field, but has gone on to show that, in his creative writings, he paints cosmic spectacles, human scenes, and caricatures with as much, or more, mastery as is evident in his verbal landscapes. However, no attempt has been made to compare his word paintings with his paintings on canvas, except, perhaps, to stress a point.
