A monument of ink dedicated to one person.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat is an Apollinaire calligram?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA calligram is a poem whose words are arranged to draw its subject. Guillaume Apollinaire made it a genre of its own: rain falls in slanting lines, a dove spreads wings of words. This \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/calligrammes-apollinaire\"\u003ecalligram print\u003c\/a\u003e prints it in black on cream paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhich poem does this monument come from?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the \u003cem\u003ePoème du 9 février 1915\u003c\/em\u003e, sent by Apollinaire to Lou and published in \u003cem\u003ePoèmes à Lou\u003c\/em\u003e. The same poem contains the portrait Reconnais-toi. The print reproduces the extract drawn as a building.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat does the poem say?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe poet builds a temple in which Lou is the goddess: he dedicates a monument of words to her and says he is ready to sacrifice himself on its altar. A love declaration as boundless as passion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhich size should I choose?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 12x16 in fits an entryway, a study or a bedroom, alone or in a gallery wall with other calligrams. The 16x20 in gives it more presence above a desk or a chest of drawers. Sizes are standard, frame not included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWho is it a gift for?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a wedding anniversary, Valentine's Day or a first home together, since it is a house; for the person who is your monument. It pairs with Reconnais-toi, taken from the same poem.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications and sizes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12x16 in, 16x20 in\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaper:\u003c\/strong\u003e thick eco-friendly matte paper\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrinting:\u003c\/strong\u003e high resolution, long-lasting colors\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrame:\u003c\/strong\u003e not included\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrint medium:\u003c\/strong\u003e poster, fine art print on matte paper\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTheme:\u003c\/strong\u003e poetry, calligram, love\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDelivery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Printed and shipped from a studio near you : most orders arrive in 3 to 5 business days\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heure d'été","offers":[{"title":"30x40 cm \/ 12x16″","offer_id":58436269408639,"sku":"76a98df9-270d-410c-835e-07c77fb791a1","price":35.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"40x50 cm \/ 16x20″","offer_id":58436269441407,"sku":"8e08e9d4-7e4f-449a-97e3-5987e3c0a386","price":50.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0905\/1815\/9743\/files\/jeleve-aussi-un-monument-apollinaire-calligramme-affiche_carre_interieur-elegant-1_0e4ecfbe-fe40-4f20-b379-8bffa6d96bed.jpg?v=1789486774","url":"https:\/\/heuredetestudio.com\/en\/products\/jeleve-aussi-un-monument-apollinaire-calligramme-affiche","provider":"Heure d'été ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
