Poetry. working with the conventional verbal sign, reaches an iconic solution through the '' poetical image" : "this is that". Magritte 's painting uses the word to release the image from the "similarity" and to reach ''similitude .. : .. this is not that". In th.is crossover.the two arts are realized as aesthetical objects. questioning their language and simultaneously making use ofthe other sign system in order to move toward the potentialities oftheir own systems
