The dichotomy of painting

If the two arts originally accepted as respectable are music and poetry. And We see music as pure emotion in vivid sound that in such a way music can illustrate or depict nothing except transient feeling. While poetry is a narrative in some sense that uses words with establish definitions to illustrate its points and poetry is everlasting immutable to time. Then Painting is the bridge between them. At times in Egyptian and Romanesque periods becoming as poetry used to illustrate a scene and sequence. At other times Like Rothko's minimalism establishing only feeling through color and no scene and absence of narrative as exactly like music. Then painting is what bridges music and Poetry and truly deserves to be an art.
