Summary: "Les Peintres Cubistes: [Méditations Esthétiques]" by Guillaume Apollinaire is a critical examination of the cubist movement in art, written in the early 20th century. The work provides an exploration of key figures in cubism, including Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, and Jean Metzinger, while also discussing broader artistic philosophies and aesthetics. Apollinaire aims to articulate the transformative power of cubist painting and the essential concepts underpinning this revolutionary style. The opening of the text introduces the author's philosophical reflection on the nature of beauty and the artist's relationship with reality. Apollinaire contrasts traditional forms of representation with the principles of cubism, emphasizing the need for purity, unity, and truth in art. He portrays the transformation of artistic perception as a move away from mere imitation of nature towards a new conception of artistic creation, thereby affirming the cubist approach as fundamentally innovative and essential for understanding contemporary aesthetics. The reader is invited to consider how cubism, through its focus on abstraction and formal qualities, elevates the act of painting to a new domain of expression and thought.
