EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing calligram "Visee" by renowned French poet Guillaume Apollinaire. Created in the early 20th century, this unique piece of art combines both visual and literary elements to create a stunning composition. Apollinaire, known for his avant-garde approach to poetry, ingeniously arranges words on the page to form an image of a target or bullseye. Each word is carefully placed and sized to fit within the contours of the design, resulting in a visually striking representation that blurs the line between literature and art. The intricate details of "Visee" are beautifully captured in this print by Giancarlo Costa. The crisp lines and contrasting tones highlight every nuance of Apollinaire's creation, allowing viewers to fully appreciate its artistic brilliance. As we gaze upon this remarkable calligram, we are reminded of Apollinaire's profound impact on French literature and poetry during his tragically short life. His innovative use of language continues to inspire artists and writers alike, transcending time and cultural boundaries. This print serves as a testament not only to Apollinaire's genius but also to the enduring power of art itself. It invites us into a world where words become images, where creativity knows no bounds. A true masterpiece that deserves its place in any fine art collection.
