Guillaume Apollinaire (in French pronounced [ɡijom apɔliˈnɛʁ]) (August 26, 1880 – November 9, 1918) was a Frenchavant-gardepoet, 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.
Legacy
Among the foremost poets of the early twentieth century, Guillaume Apollinaire coined the term "Surrealism" in 1917 in the program notes describing the ballet Parade which was a collaborative work by Jean Cocteau, Erik Satie, Pablo Picasso and Léonide Massine: "From this new alliance, for until now stage sets and costumes on one side and choreography on the other had only a sham bond between them, there has come about, in Parade, a kind of super-realism ('sur-réalisme'), in which I see the starting point of a series of manifestations of this new spirit ('esprit nouveau')." He is also credited with writing one of the earliest works described as surrealist, the play Les Mamelles de Tirésias (1917).
