Apollinaire et le brigadier masqué - lecture de trois aquarelles

A study of a selection of paintings of masked soldiers on horseback, made by Apollinaire on his return from the front in 1916, discussing the iconography of these images, relating them to the poet's writing, showing also how they relate to a contemporary current of neo-primitivism in art, and particularly to the works of Larionov and Gontcharova
