Guillaume Apollinaire was an Italian-born French poet, playwright, short story writer, novelist, and art critic born in Rome, in Italy, to a Polish mother.
Guillaume Apollinaire (in French pronounced [ɡijom apɔliˈnɛʁ]) (August 26, 1880 – November 9, 1918) was a French avant-garde poet, writer, publisher, editor, art critic and dramatic innovator who is known to have directed French poetry into new contemporary directions as well as promoting the art of Cubism.
As a writer of periodicals and a founder of a new magazine, Apollinaire saw life in wild almost absurd poetic and artistic values, an example of which is viewed in one of his poems of war: "The sky is starry with Boche shells; The marvelous forest where I live is giving a ball."
Apollinaire became very close to artists Pablo Picasso and Andre Derain, the playwright Alfred Jarry, and the painter Marie Laurencin.
As he used the French avant garde movement to experiment with advanced and very daring poetic techniques and ideas, his novel thoughts would also enliven composers and musicians, and Francis Poulenc set Apollinaire's "Le bestiaire" to music.
