When we read about Guillaume Apoillinare, I was really quite intrigued by his work. I feel that because the words actually create the shape of what they are explaining, it also gives off the feeling of the object it creates, therefore making the poem make more sense to the reader. It takes illustration to a different level, where you are not reading the words then looking at the illustration, but looking at both at the same time, having more of an impact. I like this better, and feel that it was too short lived, and it should be used in books today too. Maybe I'm just living in the past, but I feel it's a little more interesting to look at a vase of flowers when I read than a brick of words.
