Crayfish Poem after Raoul Dufy, 1911 Autograph Elegant original outline color distinguishesOriginal woodcut from the famous book Le Bestiaire, ou Cortge d'Orphe, a collaboration between poet Guillaume Apollinaire and artist Raoul Dufy, 1911. Apollinaire uses the crayfish's natural habit of swimming backward as a metaphor for uncertainty and a "retrograde" movement in life or love. This specific poem, along with others from the Bestiary, was famously set to music by the composer Francis Poulenc in 1919. In excellent condition. Dimensions: 9.
