Calligram of the Eiffel Tower, 1918
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that showcases the artistic genius of French poet Guillaume Apollinaire. Created during the early twentieth century, amidst the chaos and devastation of World War I, this calligram beautifully combines words and imagery to convey a powerful message. Apollinaire's calligram depicts the iconic Eiffel Tower, symbolizing Paris as a beacon of hope and resilience in the face of German aggression. The carefully arranged words form intricate patterns within the structure, emphasizing Apollinaire's mastery over language as he eloquently expresses his love for his city and its unwavering spirit. The inscription on this artwork reads: "Salut monde dont je suis la langue éloquente que sa bouche Ô Paris tire et tirera toujours aux Allemands" which translates to "Greetings world, whose eloquent tongue is drawn from my mouth O Paris, forever directed towards the Germans". These poignant words serve as a testament to Apollinaire's patriotism and defiance against oppression. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded not only of Apollinaire's brilliance but also of the profound impact that art can have during times of turmoil. This photograph captures an important moment in history when artists used their creativity to resist and inspire. It serves as both a tribute to those who fought bravely during World War I and a timeless reminder that art has always been an instrument for change.
