The relationship of art and language has been a repeatedly proven
fact to date. This article analyzes a particular manifestation of such a relationship
– namely, the role of language and imagery in the art of the last century.
The study highlights the key roles of language participating in the creation
of contemporary works of art. These roles conform to the generally accepted
language functions: nominative, metalinguistic, poetic, Intersemiotic, perlocutionary.
In all cases, they are subject to the aesthetic function, modifying it
based on particular artistic tasks of an artist or an art movement. It is in modern
art that it became possible to actualize all these functions, and language, in turn,
gave art such opportunities.
