H-France Review Volume 9 (2009) Page 355 H-France Review Vol. 9 (June 2009), No. 86 Peter Read, Picasso and Apollinaire: The Persistence of Memory (Ahmanson-Murphy Fine Arts Books). University of California Press: Berkeley, 2008. 334 pp. + illustrations. $49.95 (hb). ISBN 052-0243- 617. Review by John Finlay, Independent Scholar. Peter Read’s Picasso et Apollinaire: Métamorphoses de la memoire 1905/1973 was first published in France in 1995 and is now translated into English, revised, updated and developed incorporating the author’s most recent publications on both Picasso and Apollinaire. Picasso & Apollinaire: The Persistence of Memory also uses indispensable material drawn from pioneering studies on Picasso’s sculptures, sketchbooks and recent publications by eminent scholars such as Elizabeth Cowling, Anne Baldassari, Michael Fitzgerald, Christina Lichtenstern, William Rubin, John Richardson and Werner Spies as well as a number of other seminal texts for both art historian and student.[1] Although much of Apollinaire’s poetic and literary work has now been published in French it remains largely untranslated, and Read’s scholarly deciphering using the original texts is astonishing, daring and enlightening to the Picasso scholar and reader of the French language.[2] Divided into three parts and progressing chronologically through Picasso’s art and friendship with Apollinaire, the first section astutely analyses the early years from first encounters, Picasso’s portraits of Apollinaire, shared literary and artistic interests, the birth of Cubism, the poet’s writings on the artist, sketches, poems and “primitive art,” World War I, through to the final months before Apollinaire’s death from influenza on 9 November 1918. -
Max Jacob Et Les Créateurs De Son Temps Jean Perreau
Max Jacob et les créateurs de son temps Jean Perreau Passionnément ouvert aux formes de l’art les plus diverses et promoteur de la modernité, Max Jacob a scruté le monde de la création durant toute son existence. Poète, romancier, essayiste, librettiste, auteur de pièces de théâtre, épistolier et peintre, il fut témoin et acteur du bouillonnement artistique des premières décennies du XXe siècle à Paris. Ses tenues élégantes, ses écharpes, ses chapeaux et son monocle lui permettaient de donner le change alors qu’il vécut presque toute sa vie dans une profonde misère. Familier de la plupart des artistes, écrivains, poètes, critiques d’art, compositeurs, acteurs, chanteurs, couturiers, collectionneurs et marchands de son époque, Max Jacob est un personnage complexe. Breton devenu parisien, juif converti au catholicisme, homosexuel impénitent et repentant, pauvre ermite solitaire et coqueluche des diners mondains, il a souvent été la providence de nombreux artistes alors qu’il n’avait pour toute fortune que son immense culture, son talent d’écrivain, ses dons de comédien et un sens de l’humour prodigieux. Né en 1876 à Quimper, dans une famille juive non pratiquante exerçant une activité prospère de tailleur et d’antiquaire, parfaitement intégrée à la bourgeoisie aisée, Max s’intéresse très tôt à la musique, au dessin et à la peinture. Après des études brillantes, une récompense en philosophie au concours général des Lycées, une admission à l’école coloniale et l’obtention d’une licence en droit, il décide de tout abandonner pour se consacrer uniquement à l’art. Journaliste et critique d’art au tournant du siècle, il fréquente les galeries et les expositions en se montrant à la fois perspicace et soucieux d’éduquer ses lecteurs. -

The Poetics of Visual Cubism: Guillaume Apollinaire on Pablo Picasso Abstract Guillaume Apollinaire, one of the most original poets of the early twentieth-century French avant garde, played a crucial role in the enunciation of modernist aesthetics. Through innovative poetic forms, Apollinaire set forth a new aesthetics which underscored the inherent ambiguity of an increasingly turbulent modern context. Apollinaire's interest in the pure dynamism of the contemporary material landscape, and his attraction to the image that explodes with immediate presence, also led him to a natural curiosity in the visual arts. Identifying with the Cubist mosaic style of inclusion, the juxtaposition of reality and imagination, and the simultaneity of spatial and temporal movement, Apollinaire saw modern artists as "singers of a constantly new truth," inventors of a uniquely authentic modern experience. -
The Personality of Apollinaire
THE PERSONALITY OF APOLLINAIRE AS REVEALED IN HIS POETRY 1896-1912 by ALEXANDER WILLIAM BROWN B.A. University of British Columbia, Canada, 1983 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS In the Department of French We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA August 198 9 (c) Alexander William Brown, 1989 9f In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study. I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the head of my department or by his or her representatives.

Department of The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date DE-6 (2/88) ii ABSTRACT This thesis provides an overview of Apollinaire's personality by reference to his poetry only. The time span is restricted to the productive years 1896 to 1912. Apollinaire's poetic output after 1912 was quite extensive, its inclusion in the analysis would have resulted in an over-long thesis. Recent research as well as standard material which was found in scattered information has been combined in this analysis. The thesis is made up of an Introduction which sets forth the methodology of the analysis and discusses the content. The first chapter is a biography covering the entire life of the poet.
