Abstract: The interactions between literature and painting can be analyzed in different ways. This article presents several comparative methodologies discussed by Wellek and Warren (1989), and Praz (1982). The objective is to reflect on the relevance of those theoretical approaches to the current landscape of research on comparative literature. To this end, the article analyzes the dialog between the pictorial and the verbal in Clarice Lispector’s Água Viva [The Stream of Life].
