EDITORS COMMENTS
Guillaume Apollinaire: A Visionary Poet and Cultural Icon of the 20th Century This evocative image captures the enigmatic and innovative spirit of Guillaume Apollinaire (1880-1918), a French poet, playwright, short story writer, novelist, and art critic. Apollinaire is renowned for his groundbreaking contributions to modern literature and the arts, particularly in the realm of surrealism. The photograph showcases a first edition of Apollinaire's seminal work, "Calligrammes," published in 1918. Subtitled "Poems of war and peace 1913-1916," this collection is a testament to the poet's profound exploration of human emotions and experiences during wartime and its aftermath. Apollinaire's innovative approach to poetry is exemplified in the calligrams, visual poems that combine words and shapes to create intricate, thought-provoking compositions. The cover of "Calligrammes" features a striking design by Wilhelm Albert, W.C. Odzimierz, and Apolinary Kostrowicki, which perfectly encapsulates the surreal and dreamlike nature of Apollinaire's verse. Born in Rome in 1880, Apollinaire spent much of his life in Paris, where he became a central figure in the avant-garde artistic scene. His influence extended beyond literature, as he was also an influential art critic and a friend and mentor to many prominent artists and writers of the time, including Pablo Picasso and Max Jacob. Tragically, Apollinaire's life was cut short when he was killed by a stray bullet during the German occupation of Paris in 1918. His legacy, however, continues to inspire and captivate readers and artists alike, making him a true icon of modern European literature and culture.
