Les Dessins de Guillaume Apollinaire

This large-format book presents over three hundred previously unpublished drawings and paintings by the poet Guillaume Apollinaire, accompanied by detailed captions, two Introductions and an informative tex tat the start of each section. The book reveals, studies and interprets for the first time an extensive and previously unexplored area of Apollinaire’s creativity. Organised chronologically, it shows how Apollinaire oscillated throughout his life between written and pictorial expression, reinforces our appreciation of his visual sensibility and demonstrates how constant interplay between these two modes of expression nourished his literary imagination, thereby enhancing our appreciation of all his poetry and prose.
