According to W.J.T. Mitchell the problem of relations between word and image should be re-defined, as all arts, as well as contemporary media are mixed: they consist of text and image. The pure independence of word form the image or the other way around is utopian and impossible. It is therefore a mistake to compare what is painted with literary text, even if such instances take place. We should rather search for the kind of textuality that is demonstrated (or latent) by the painting and in the name of which values.
