❝ Avant tout, les artistes sont des hommes
qui veulent devenir inhumains.
Artists are, above all, men who want to become inhuman.
❝ Les souvenirs sont cors de chasse
Dont meurt le bruit parmi le vent
Memories are hunting horns
Whose sound dies among the wind
- Guillaume Apollinaire -
August 26, 1880 - November 9, 1918
This year marks the centenary of his death.
Guillaume, the father of surrealism !!!!!
the word 'surrealism' was coined in March 1917 by Apollinaire
three years before Surrealism emerged as an art movement in Paris.
Le Chat - the cat
illustration by Raoul Dufy
from Le Bestiaire ou Cortège d'Orphée
(The Bestiary or Procession of Orpheus)
I hope I may have in my house,
A sensible right-minded spouse,
A cat stepping over the books,
Loyal friends always about
Whom I couldn't live without.
