The relationship between literature and the visual arts is very old and can be found in recreations such as the images made by Delacroix for Goethe s Faust and by Flaxman for Dante s The Divine Comedy. Lasar Segall s lithographs inspired by the short story A gentle creature, by Fyodor Dostoevsky, show that this relationship is still relevant in the twentieth century. The objective of this research is to analyse Dostoevsky s short story and Segall s lithographs and observe the language that each of these artists used to create characters who express their own inner world. Based on the concept of self-awareness developed by Mikhail Bakhtin, we will observe the construction of the short story s main character, which is a man who is distant from reality but finally realizes the truth about himself. We will also discuss the way in which Lasar Segall, who at the time was part of the German Expressionist movement, uses Dostoevsky s text to produce his lithographs, or more specifically, we will analyze the graphic elements used by him to convey the inner world of the characters and the tragic aspect found in the short story.
