Title: Apollinaire on art. Essays and Reviews, 1902-1918
Description: Museum of Fine Arts Boston, 2001. Pp: 546. Poet, critic, impresario, gadfly, visionary, tastemaker: more than anyone, Guillaume Apollinaire embodies the frenzied art world of Paris in the early 20th century. His rampant enthusiasms & antipathies, & his remarkable acumen, make him still today the most evocative commentator on the intellectual ferment of the time. In 1905 he championed Picasso & in 1907 he promoted Braque in reviews that were amazingly sharp & prescient. He first identified the importance of Delaunay, Duchamp, & Rousseau, coined the word Surrealism, & almost single-handedly pushed Cubism into the mainstream. With a new preface by Roger Shattuck, this edition of Apollinaire on Art is the only collection in English of these seminal & ever fresh writings. "This lively translation.presents as racy & piquant an account of the period as could possibly be desired."-The New York Times. ISBN: 9780878466269. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
