I have a contract with Gallimard, dated 20 November 2006, to complete a major volume of correspondence between Guillaume Apollinaire and the many artists with whom he was in contact. This is a joint venture with a colleague in Paris, Laurence Campa. We are jointly designated as 'l'Auteur' in the contract and have worked together on the project from its inception.Apollinaire (1880-1918) was a founding figure of French literary modernism. He was a poet, novelist, playwright, an infantry officer during the Great War and a famously prolific letter writer. During his lifetime, he was best known as an art critic, writing in the national press. He ran his own pre-war arts magazine, 'Les Soirées de Paris', and published in 1913 his book, 'The Cubist Painters' (of which I published a translation and critical edition, with University of California Press, in 2004). This research project brings together all the correspondence we can locate between Apollinaire and artists. The documentary core of this book is the correspondence received by Apollinaire, from over 800 diverse correspondents, which, via the Apollinaire estate, entered the BNF a few years ago. I had access to parts of this material when it was in private hands, then before and during cataloguing. We now have complete access.By artists, we mean painters, sculptors, engravers, illustrators, graphic and poster artists. The list of those who will definitely feature includes Braque, Chagall, Chirico, Delaunay, Derain, Diriks, Dufy, Friesz, Gleizes, Gontcharova, Gris, Kandinsky, Kisling, La Fresnaye, Larionov, Laurencin, Léger, Matisse, Picabia, Puvis de Chavannes, Douanier Rousseau, Signac, Survage, Vlaminck, Zadkine... The complete list contains over one hundred artists' names, with over 700 pages of correspondence, on cards and letters of every format. Almost all these documents are entirely unpublished. Picasso is the one major figure excluded, because his correspondence with Apollinaire has already been published, by Gallimard.To our BNF corpus, we will add letters from other collections and archives, and from various dispersed publications. Many of the letters Apollinaire sent have not survived. We will however provide, where possible, both sides of the dialogue. The letters will be grouped according to artist, in chronological order. The Introduction, co-written, will place the professional and personal contacts between Apollinaire and the artists in historical and cultural context. Points made will include the cosmopolitan diversity of this community of young artists; the range of subject matter treated in the letters, from gossip and quarrels, to aesthetic theorising, to the everyday concerns of making a living. Gris, for example, first requests Apollinaire's help in selling his newspaper illustrations. The Matisse-Apollinaire relationship here fluctuates in ways that modify conclusions drawn in Hilary Spurling's biography. The diaspora of the Great War caused an increase in correspondence; some of the wartime letters presented here are very moving and now have extraordinary documentary value (eg. Braque, Derain). The book will therefore sit at the juncture of art history, history and literature. Each letter will be accompanied by essential notes, particularly on names, events and works, and there will be a final index of names. The letters, particularly those received by Apollinaire, will add much new detail to our knowledge and understanding of the poet and the artists. The book will reconstitute an extensive and fascinating constellation of artists around Apollinaire, including the brightest stars of the century but also many lesser figures. It will provide new, revealing, direct and first-hand access to the jostling cultural life of Paris in the age of heroic modernism.

2006年11月20日，我与Gallimard签订了一份合同，以完成纪尧姆·阿波利奈尔与他所接触的许多艺术家之间的大量通信。这是一个合资企业与同事在巴黎，劳伦斯坎帕。我们在合同中共同被指定为“l 'Auteur”，从项目一开始就一直在合作。阿波利奈尔（1880-1918）是法国现代主义文学的奠基人。他是一位诗人、小说家、剧作家，在第一次世界大战期间是一名步兵军官，也是一位著名的多产书信作家。在他的一生中，他是最有名的艺术评论家，在国家新闻界写作。他经营着自己的战前艺术杂志《巴黎之夜》，并于1913年出版了他的书《立体派画家》（我于2004年与加州大学出版社出版了该书的翻译和评论版）。这个研究项目汇集了所有的信件，我们可以找到阿波利奈尔和艺术家之间。这本书的纪录片核心是阿波利奈尔收到的信件，来自800多个不同的通讯员，这些通讯员在几年前通过阿波利奈尔的遗产进入了BNF。我可以接触到这些材料的一部分，当它在私人手中，然后在编目之前和期间。我们现在完全可以接触到艺术家，我们指的是画家、雕塑家、雕刻家、插图画家、平面和海报艺术家。肯定会出现的人物名单包括布拉克、夏加尔、基里科、德洛奈、德兰、迪里克斯、杜菲、弗里兹、格莱兹、贡恰洛娃、格里斯、康定斯基、基斯林、拉弗雷斯奈、拉里奥诺夫、洛朗桑、莱热、马蒂斯、皮卡比亚、普维斯·德·查万、杜阿尼尔·卢梭、西涅克、苏瓦奇、弗拉明克、扎德金..完整的名单包含一百多位艺术家的名字，以及700多页的信件，各种格式的卡片和信件。几乎所有这些文件都是完全未出版的。毕加索是唯一被排除在外的主要人物，因为他与阿波利奈尔的通信已经由Gallimard出版。我们将从其他收藏和档案以及各种分散的出版物中添加信件。阿波利奈尔的许多信件都没有保存下来。不过，我们将尽可能提供对话双方的资料。这些信件将按照艺术家的时间顺序进行分组。共同撰写的介绍将把阿波利奈尔和艺术家之间的专业和个人接触置于历史和文化背景中。提出的要点将包括这个年轻艺术家社区的国际化多样性;信件中处理的主题范围，从八卦和争吵，到美学理论，再到谋生的日常问题。例如，格里斯首先请求阿波利奈尔帮助他出售报纸插图。马蒂斯和阿波利奈尔的关系在这里以改变希拉里·斯普林传记中得出的结论的方式波动。第一次世界大战的流散导致了信件的增加;这里展示的一些战时信件非常感人，现在具有非凡的文献价值（例如，1989年的《战争》）。Braque，Derain）.因此，这本书将坐在艺术史，历史和文学的交界处。每封信都将附有基本说明，特别是关于姓名、事件和作品的说明，并将有一个姓名的最终索引。这些信件，特别是阿波利奈尔收到的信件，将为我们对诗人和艺术家的认识和理解增添许多新的细节。这本书将重建一个广泛的和迷人的星座的艺术家围绕阿波利奈尔，包括最明亮的明星的世纪，但也有许多较小的数字。它将为英雄现代主义时代的巴黎拥挤的文化生活提供新的、揭示性的、直接的和第一手的途径。
