Guillaume Apollinaire was born #OTD in 1880.

Apollinaire is considered one of the foremost poets of the early 20th century, as well as one of the most impassioned defenders of Cubism and a forefather of Surrealism. Two years after being wounded in World War I, he died during the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918 and was recognized as "Fallen for France" because of his commitment during the war. via nostr:npub1kvnpp3m60derhwpqwc09zhk3ehk48tr6agc6dk9z2vggu9sga28qpxhm73
