Lyricism is a term used to describe a piece of art considered to have deep emotions.[1] Its origin is found in the word lyric, derived via
Latinlyricus from the
Greekλυρικός (lurikós),[2] the adjectival form of lyre.[3] As a musical term, it is often employed to relate to the capability of a
lyricist.
Description
Lyricism is primarily used to give a description of art that is thought to have a particularly expressive quality.[4] It is often used in conjunction with art composed of sound alone, but can apply to all forms of art, including
paintings,
performances,[5]poetries,
architectures,[6] or
films.[7]
Film:Lost, Lost, Lost (1976) has been described as an example of the mid-20th century lyricism movement in film, as well as The Art of Vision (1965) and Fireworks (1947).[9]
