“Allow me to introduce myself. I am Guillaume Apollinaire, poet extraordinaire and completely at your service.”
Guillaume Apollinaire was one of the most influential arts figures in pre-WWI Paris. He wrote poetry in the Cubist style, and he promoted the avant-garde in his arts criticism. He also introduced his long-time friend Pablo Picasso to Georges Braque, who together invented the Cubist movement in painting.
In Finding Sylvie, Sylvie meets Apollinaire at Gertrude Stein’s salon, during an unforgettable night of art, intrigue, and seduction.
