Key Points

Abstract

ABSTRACT: In 1909, Wallace Stevens wrote letters expressing his enthusiasm for a German art exhibition primarily in the realist and impressionist traditions, though there was some symbolist representation. Although Stevens seems not to have mentioned the artworks nor the artists again, this early attraction was reflective of enduring aspects of his poetry, particularly the impressionist aspects of his style.
