How would you define "literary art"?

Question

In my new novel, I've created an artistic term coined "Literary Art" or "Lit Art" for short; it's defined on taking a piece of literary works of art in writing, like a poem, and interpreting it into pieces of art like painting, photos, sculptures, etc. Let's see how many creative answers for "Literary Art" we have here. The most creative, interesting, innnovative and unique one is awarded 10 points. (P.S. If there's such a thing as literary art, please let me know along with the definition or meaning of it. Someone suggested I try post this question in this category.)

Answer 1

Literature is literally "acquaintance with letters" as in the first sense given in the Oxford English Dictionary (from the Latin littera meaning "an individual written character (letter)"). The term has generally come to identify a collection of texts or works, which in Western culture are mainly prose, both fiction and non-fiction, drama and poetry. In much, if not all of the world, texts can be oral as well, and include such genres as epic, legend, myth, ballad, other forms of oral poetry, and the folktale.
