Autorenporträt

Guillaume Apollinaire (1880-1918), born Wilhelm Albert Wlodzimierz Apolinary Kostrowicki in Rome, was a French poet, writer, and art critic of Polish descent. He is regarded one of the leading poets of the early 20th century, as well as the earliest defender / promoter of Cubism and as a forerunner of Surrealism. He came up with the term "Cubism" in 1911 to describe the latest art movement, and also "Surrealism" in 1917 to describe the works of Erik Satie. Apollinaire wrote one of the earliest Surrealist literary works, the play 'The Breasts of Tiresias' (1917). Two years after being wounded in World War I, Apollinaire died during the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918.
