The article explores book illustration as a privileged field for studying artistic interaction. It
proposes the concept of ‘surrealistic sensibility’, coined by Susan Sontag, and also the Freudian concept
of Umheimlich, as categories to understand how sometimes illustration is not only a mere visual
translation of a written passage, but the process of transfer itself. The artist, instead of depicting, uses
tropes or symbols where meaning is explained by itself. Thus, rhetoric appears as a common field
between literature and art. This idea is exemplified with the work of the Daniel Gil, an Spanish graphic
designer.
El articulo estudia la ilustración editorial como un ámbito privilegiado para comprender el
fenómeno de la interacción artística. Se propone el concepto “sensibilidad surrealista”, acuñado por Susan
Sontag, y también el concepto freudiano de Umheimlich como categorías para comprender cómo a veces
la ilustración no es simplemente una mera traslación visual de un pasaje escrito, sino el proceso de dicha
transferencia en sí mismo. El artista, en lugar de representar, emplea tropos o símbolos donde el
significado se va explicando a sí mismo en su propio significar. De este modo, la retórica se descubre
como un terreno común entre la literatura y el arte. Estas ideas se ejemplifican con el trabajo del
diseñador gráfico español Daniel Gil.
