In 1922, in Paris, Vicente Huidobro exhibited a dozen painted poems: poster-sized, these exotic creations were an attempt by the poet — who was close to a number of the leading painters of the time — to take the Cubist leanings in his verse to their logical extreme. Here Apollinairean calligrammes — and Apollinaire was one of Huidobro's first friends in Paris — move from being pictorial poems to being pictures in their own right. The volume includes all the recreated versions made for the 2001 Salle XIV exhibition at Madrid's Reina Sofía Museum, along with with as many reproductions of the originals, and their drafts, that we have been able to assemble.
