Annotation The article studies the problem of interdisciplinary interaction of painting and literature which attests to intermedial character of Nabokov’s prose written in Russian. He inherits the tradition rooted in symbolists’ art. Intermediality, a characteristic feature of a symbolist text, is manifested in the dialogue, synthesis of arts, and visualization of metaphysical ideas. Possibilities of interdisciplinary interaction of painting and literature were also investigated by Pre-Raphaelite artists and poets. Ekphrasis is a traditional type of intermedial interaction. Lithography of The Last Supper by Leonardo serves as an “ekphratic impulse” due to which the theme of emigrants’ life is disclosed in the novel Mary. In the novel Glory the allusion to the painting Whirlwind by F. Malyavin is connected with the theme of nostalgia and the dream of free and beautiful life that did not come true. The theme reflected in painting is exposed in different semiotic systems. It becomes polyphonic. Nabokov is not limited by the stylistic device of ekphrasis. He employs less strict means of interaction between painting and literature such as intermedial allusions and correlations.
Key words intermedial allusions, correlation, ekphrasis, aesthetic statement, symbolists’ tradition, Pre-Raphaelites, area of two semiotic systems
