Collection: Guillaume Apollinaire

One of the most prominent figures of French poetry at the beginning of the 20th century. Born in Rome in 1880. He changed many places of residence, traveled throughout Europe, and participated in World War I, where he was wounded. These experiences were reflected in his poetry, giving it a special depth and diversity. His work became a kind of bridge between traditional poetry and modernist experiments. He was an active participant in the artistic life of Paris and was friends with many famous artists of the time. Apollinaire's work had a significant impact on the development of avant-garde art. He was one of the first poets to combine poetry with painting and sculpture.
