Apollinaire, Guillaume
French poet of aristocratic Polish descent. He was a leader of the avant-garde in Parisian literary and artistic circles. His novel Le Poète assassiné/The Poet Assassinated (1916), followed by the experimental poems Alcools/Alcohols (1913) and Calligrammes/Word Pictures (1918), show him as a representative of the Cubist and Futurist movements.
Born in Rome and educated in Monaco, Apollinaire went to Paris 1898. His work greatly influenced younger French writers, such as Louis Aragon. He coined the term ‘surrealism’ to describe his play Les Mamelles de Tirésias/The Breasts of Tiresias (1917).
