Abstract
In this reasearch, the interaction of literature and painting in Persian and French poems - by Yaqoub Zare and Jacques Prevert - Which have similar imaginary, mental, and imagery themes, are examined in a comparative-interdisciplinary manner. The effect or relationship between the poems is not our goal and the theoretical framework of the research is about examining similarities. The interpretation model of text is derived from interdisciplinary literature-painting studies, in which paintings elements such as frame, shape, color, and choosing the right brush are analyzed in interaction with the poem and its components. The interpretation of literature and painting in these poems creates a unique and original perspective. These poems have given static and dynamic to purely mental and abstract concepts and images. Poems have a constant dynamic, it means these poems are simultaneously static and dynamic. The frame of both texts expands gradually from the focal part of the image (the central element). The perspective in Zare's poetry is variable, while in Prevet's poetry it is constant. There are various visual forms in the two poems, and Prevert also uses non-visual forms. The poets of both literary works are aware of the effect of color in drawing a painting. So, they use a variety of warm, cold, and neutral colors and the light shading technique.
