Pictures inspired by Calligrammes by G. Apollinaire by vania

Guillaume Apollinaire was born on August 26,1880 in Rome . As being the founder of the AVANT - GARDE style in ART in Paris during the first decade of the last Century two figures were outstanding Picasso and Apollinaire. Guillaume Apollinaire was a man of such a magnetic charm and inspiration that many years after he died the joy and the fantasy died too. Not only he was the mount piece for the early Cubist painters, but he also spouted the doctrines of Delaunay and the Strum Group and his own works had the influence on the young Surrealist poets. "Calligrammes" is one of his most well known books written between 1913 - 1916 and including poems about the War and Peace. Apollinaire himself took part in the Great War and those kind of deep reflections motivated him to write the surrealistic poetry in "Calligrammes".
