Summary

Guillaume Apollinaire: Bestiary or Orpheus' accompaniment

This Bestiary was created as a perfect combination of Apollinaire's verses and woodcuts by Raoul Dufy. It appeared in 1911, that is, before Apollinaire's collection Alcohols was published, in only 120 copies, which today are a true bibliophile rarity. It is a book for connoisseurs, but also for connoisseurs with refined, almost esoteric knowledge, full of meaning which in the interweaving of verse and image is constantly revealed, but also concealed, thereby renewing its invitation to a new viewing of the verses, a new reading of the image. Orpheus, accompanied by new complex animals, from the upper, lower and middle world, appears four times. It is always a different Orpheus, both in word and in image. The first time it is the poet himself, Guillaume Apollinaire in his then cubist Paris, then it is a medieval nobleman from a tapestry from Cluny, and then Orpheus who invokes the image of the Good Shepherd; in the end it is again Orpheus the poet, who treads decisively Odysseus between the scylla and harbida formed by the Sirens, the Kingfisher and Amor, longing to summon the song of angelic beings on his strings. After Apollinaire's death, in 1919, two quatrains, not included in the Bestiary, belonging to this "faunal poem" were published, and at the end of this century, it brings us the spirit of ancient Hellas and the spirit of the beginning of the century, in a multi-meaning juxtaposition of time and meaning..."
