"Regarded by some as the Cubist Bible, Apollinaire's Méditations Esthétiques, Les Peintres Cubistes first appeared in 1912 at the very beginning of the movement that changed the course of painting forever. All the painters whose work is discussed here have achieved legendary status.
Apollinaire's analysis of the different schools of Cubism is still broadly accepted and his acknowledgment of Picasso's genius pre-dated contemporary opinion.
Apollinaire is a poet whose appreciation of the work of his friends the painters expresses itself in characteristically lyrical language."
