Correspondance Apollinaire et les peintres (1903-1918)

我与加里马德签订了一份合同，日期为2006年11月20日，完成纪尧姆·阿波利内尔与他接触的许多艺术家之间的一大批信件。这是一家与巴黎同事劳伦斯·坎帕的合资企业。我们在合同中被共同指定为‘L’导演，从项目开始就一直在合作。阿波利内尔(1880年-1918年)是法国文学现代主义的奠基人。他是一位诗人、小说家、剧作家，一战期间的步兵军官，也是一位著名的多产书信作家。在他的一生中，他最为人所知的身份是艺术评论家，在国家媒体上写作。他经营着自己的战前艺术杂志《巴黎晚报》(Les Soirées de Paris)，并于1913年出版了他的书《立体派画家》(The Cubist Paters)(2004年，我与加州大学出版社(University Of California Press)一起出版了该书的翻译和评论版)。这个研究项目汇集了我们能找到的阿波利内尔和艺术家之间的所有通信。这本书的纪录片核心是阿波利内尔从800多名不同的记者那里收到的信件，这些记者几年前通过阿波利内尔庄园进入了巴黎诺夫。当这些材料在私人手中时，我可以接触到其中的一部分，然后是在编目之前和期间。我们现在有了完全的访问权。我们所说的艺术家，我们指的是画家、雕塑家、雕刻家、插画家、平面和海报艺术家。确定将上映的演员名单包括布拉克、夏加尔、奇里科、德劳奈、德雷恩、迪里克、杜菲、弗里兹、格雷泽、冈恰洛娃、格里斯、康定斯基、基斯林、拉弗雷斯纳耶、拉里奥诺夫、劳伦辛、L、马蒂斯、毕卡比亚、普维斯·德·查万内斯、杜尼尔·卢梭、西格纳克、冲浪公司、弗拉明克、扎德金……完整的名单包含了100多个艺术家的名字，有700多页的信件，用各种格式的卡片和信件写成。几乎所有这些文件都完全没有发布。毕加索是被排除在外的一个重要人物，因为他与阿波利内尔的通信已经由加里马德出版。我们将把来自其他收藏和档案馆以及各种分散出版物的信件添加到我们的BNF语料库中。阿波利内尔发出的许多信件都没有幸存下来。然而，在可能的情况下，我们将提供对话的双方。这些字母将按照艺术家的时间顺序进行分组。导言，共同撰写，将把阿波利内尔和艺术家之间的专业和个人接触置于历史和文化背景下。发表的观点将包括这个年轻艺术家群体的世界性多样性；信件中处理的主题的范围，从八卦和争吵，到美学理论，再到日常生活关注的问题。例如，格里斯首先请求阿波利内尔帮助销售他的报纸插图。马蒂斯和阿波利内尔的关系在这里波动，修改了希拉里·斯珀林传记中得出的结论。第一次世界大战的侨民导致了信件的增加；这里提出的一些战时信件非常感人，现在具有非凡的文献价值(例如。布拉克，德雷恩)。因此，这本书将处于艺术史、历史和文学的交汇点。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，并将有最终的姓名索引。这些信件，特别是阿波利内尔收到的信件，将为我们对诗人和艺术家的知识和理解增加许多新的细节。这本书将重建阿波利内尔周围广泛而迷人的艺术家星座，包括本世纪最耀眼的明星，但也有许多不太重要的人物。它将提供新的、具有启发性的、直接的和第一手的途径，让人们了解英雄现代主义时代巴黎拥挤的文化生活。

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.
