Ebook: Die Ästhetik Apollinaires und der frühen Avantgarde: Mythos als Modus

"Tu marches vers Auteuil tu veux aller chez toi à pied / Dormir parmi tes fétiches d’Océanie et de Guinée [...]" – this study follows the clues in the final verses of Apollinaire’s poem Zone, which has become near iconic for the avant-garde, rediscovering Apollinaire’s aesthetics and the poets with whom he was acquainted – Cendrars, Reverdy, Soffici, and Marinetti – against the backdrop of the primitivism discourse in the early 20^th century.
