Guillaume Apollinaire, born in 1880 and passed away in 1918, was a prominent French poet, playwright, short story writer, novelist, and art critic. He is known for his contributions to the literary world during the early 20th century. Apollinaire's life was intertwined with various muses who inspired his creative endeavors. One such muse was Marie Laurencin, an artist herself. In a portrait by Henri Rousseau from 1909, we see the poet alongside Laurencin as they share a deep connection. Apollinaire's artistic talent extended beyond words; he also experimented with visual poetry. On February 9th, 1915, he created a calligram - a poem written in the shape of its subject - showcasing his innovative approach to literature. In addition to being an intellectual force within literary circles, Apollinaire frequented Café Rotonde where intellectuals gathered to exchange ideas and engage in stimulating conversations. A painting from 1916 captures this scene and immortalizes him among fellow thinkers. However, Apollinaire's life took an unexpected turn when World War I broke out. He served as a soldier during this tumultuous time and even depicted himself wearing military attire in one of his pencil drawings. Apart from war-related themes that influenced his work during this period like "Le cavalier masque" (The Masked Rider) or "Le caporal de la legion" (The Legion Corporal), Apollinaire explored diverse subjects throughout his career. His creativity knew no bounds as he dabbled not only in poetry but also in visual arts. His artwork titled "Ce qu ons amuser aved les nombres astronomiques. " showcases both his fascination with numbers and artistic expression. Furthermore, "Absinthe / Victor Hugo, " painted around c1895-1900 by Apollinaire himself demonstrates his versatility as an artist capable of capturing still-life scenes with great detail.
