Guillaume Apollinaire: un renouvellement artistique

At the end of the 19th century, different artistic forms claimed their specificities. However, it is also during this period of reflection that exchanges between literature and other arts become more intense. It is in this context that Apollinaire (1880-1918) finds his space by actively engaging in discussions that would lead to an aesthetic renewal. In 1913, essential texts such as L'Antitradition futuriste were published in France: manifeste synthèse, La peinture moderne and les Méditations esthétiques. Les peintres cubistes, as well as the Alcools collection, which will become one of the reference works of modern French literature. Then an aesthetic emerges towards modernity, which at the same time is marked by the lyrical tradition. Putting ourselves in the same perspective as Max Jacob when it evokes the “Apollinaire century”, in this work we reconstituted Apollinarian poetics in the year of the centenary of publications that would revolutionize the beginning of the 20th century and modern art.
