EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing calligram by the renowned poet Guillaume Apollinaire. The calligram, titled "The eventance of flavours" depicts a face formed entirely out of carefully arranged words. Apollinaire's innovative use of language and visual artistry is evident in this striking piece. The intricate details of the calligram draw viewers into a world where words come alive to create an image that transcends traditional boundaries. Each word delicately intertwines with others, forming the contours and features of a human face. It is as if Apollinaire has breathed life into his poetry, allowing it to take on physical form. Apollinaire's mastery shines through in his ability to convey multiple layers of meaning within this single artwork. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, "The eventance of flavours" invites contemplation on the relationship between taste and perception, suggesting that flavors can be experienced not only through our palates but also through our senses and emotions. As we gaze upon this extraordinary creation, we are reminded of Apollinaire's profound impact on French literature and poetry during the 20th century. His unique approach continues to inspire artists today, pushing boundaries and challenging conventional forms of expression. Giancarlo Costa skillfully captures the essence of this remarkable calligram in his photograph, preserving its beauty for generations to come. This print serves as a testament to both Apollinaire's artistic genius and Costa's talent as a fine art photographer.
