In order to question the effects of the phallus primacy in our written culture, I propose a look back on the heritage that has been buried under phallocratic hegemony. In this respect the suggested alternative against the contempt for writing produced by women finds in Julia Kristeva’s work a source to be regarded by Literature Theory. The proposal is based on returning to some Western pictorial references that are present in different works by this thinker. In the cross between painting and literature, we find in Polylogue the recovery of Matisse’s reading of Giotto as well as reflections on color. In Possessions, the debate is supported by reflections about Artemisia Gentileschi and Georgia O’Keeffe. In Hatred and Forgiveness, the O’Keeffe letters deepen the relationship between her painting and possible syntactic transformations. This paper, therefore, seeks to locate, within Kristeva’s work, arguments that may produce an opening to the writings to come.
