lyricism

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Encyclopedia 0.03 sec.

lyricism

In the arts, the expressive or sensual qualities of a work. For instance, lyric poetry expresses the writer's thoughts and feelings. In painting, lyrical abstraction (abstraction lyrique) refers to a French style of abstract art of the 1940s and 1950s that was more spontaneous and expressive than geometrical abstraction (see Tachisme).

The lyricism of the evening was in the cellar at present, and was not to be drawn from that retreat just yet.
Adam Bede by Eliot, George View in context
His first impulse was an unselfish love for his fellow-men, with an aggressive eagerness for martyrdom in their behalf; his nature was unusually, even abnormally, fine and sensitive; and his poetic quality was a delicate and ethereal lyricism unsurpassed in the literature of the world.
A History of English Literature by Fletcher, Robert Huntington View in context
