''The Great Figure'' is a short poem wrote by Mr. William Carlos Williams, and ''I Saw The Figure 5 In Gold'' painted by Mr. Charles Demuth. Genuinely, Demuth just got inspired with William's poem, then he made an artwork for that. So, the poem is about an unexpected encounter with a number that he(the poet) experienced, there was a fire truck as it raced by him in the city. The painter depicted the painting based on Williams's poem, and what most viewer can basically sees straight through is the Number 5, it represented as the 5 figures he encountered to. The red colours represented as the fire truck, also, the gold colours represented the wealthy 5 figures. The total view of the painting(the street) depicted that he experienced the situation on a very empty street. The similarities between the poem and the painting is the number 5, same colour which is red that represent fire truck. The differences are just that both poem and painting respectively.

What the poem,  The Great Figure and the painting, I Saw the Figure 5 in Gold have in common is the figure 5. In the poem, William said that he saw the figure 5 painted in gold on a red truck. I think Charles made it very clear by that. In the painting, the figure 5 was drawn so big and it was painted in gold. Second point is the dark city and the light are potrayed very well in both poem and painting. The first difference is the Charles did not exactly draw the firetruck image as William described in the poem and as well as the rain, gong, siren and wheels.

The poem became the inspiration for the painting. Therefore, the painting is an interpretation of the poem. To understand the painting, one needs to hear the poem. To visualize the poem, the painting allows the viewer to experience what the poet experienced on that rainy night. The similarities between the 2 artwork is the number 5 is given emphasis. In addition, a firetruck is mentioned and visualized in both of the artwork. The dark city and lights are also portrayed in both the painting and the poem. The only difference between the 2 artwork is that the painter, Charles Demuth portrayed the firetruck (with symbolism) as a red block of colour where as the poet, William Carlos William mentioned the firetruck directly .

The similarity between the poem and the painting is the used of figure 5. The figure 5 in both poem and painting potrays a firetruck with a number 5. The ppets saw a firetruck just passing by and he captured the number 5 in gold colour. Based on the painting he paints the figure 5 smaller because he wanted to show the firetruck was moving quickly.

I Saw the Figure 5 in Gold was inspired by the poem, “The Great Figure,” written by Demuth’s friend, William Carlos Williams. William's poem 'The Great Figure" is deliberately straightforward but Demuth's painting " I Saw the Figure 5 in Gold " is more complicated. Demuth divided the picture plane into rectangles and triangles, which refract light and change the color of space and shapes. The diagonal lines force your eyes to race around as you try to understand the image. The intersecting lines, repeated "5," round forms of the numbers, lights, street lamp, and blaring sirens of the red fire engine together infuse the painting with a vibrant, urban energy.

The painting "I Saw The Figure 5 In Gold" was probably inspired by a line in the poem titled Great Figure by William Carlos Williams. A line in the poem recites the tittle of the painting and announces the presence of a number 5 in the scene. This probably was the reason for the number 5 to be painted in a sense that it dominates the painting. Another similarity that the painting shares with the poem is probably the red block colours in the painting. The blocks probably represent the colours often seen on fire trucks which was the subject of the poem. The painting also resembled a mirror of sorts that reflected the rain and the surrounding of the fire truck as it travels through the city to answer the call of the gong. The difference between the painting and the poem is that the painting has a dreamy quality to it that implores the viewer to think and decipher the painting. It is a tiny bit abstract while the poem is straight forward and tells of the incidents occuring.

I saw the figure 5

firetruck

moving

tense

unheeded

to gong clangs

siren howls

and wheels rumbling

through the dark city.
