Chapter 20 I Anarchists on the hills of Montmartre (2) Break up

I have nothing to say about Fernand Olivier: I am excited every day, every day.I felt in my heart that I was deeply in love with her.If it's just unrequited love, I will be very, very disappointed. Paul Leoto The theft of the Mona Lisa became a centerpiece.Around this center a new era unfolded.This new era will be painful for some, and happy, colorful, and rewarding for others.This is a time of turning point and a time of separation.In books about art history, the page about Montmartre trembles because of the impending upheaval there.Grace Santeras wrote shortly afterwards: "I'm going to 'Great Bunny,' to reminisce about my lost childhood."

Mary Laurence cut off contact with Guillaume Apollinaire after he stayed in prison for a few days.Fernand Olivier concluded that during Apollinaire's imprisonment, Mary never wrote to her lover.In addition to being imprisoned and losing face, the poet Apollinaire's many infidelities and the long-term discord between the two were the direct reasons for the breakup.Mary had already stated that she would not marry him because his character was too bad.According to Picasso, the married life of Apollinaire and Marie Laurence was also a bit boring... The breakup of Mary Laurenson with him made Apollinaire deeply hurt. He couldn't bear the memories of everything around him, so he decided to leave their residence in Auteuil and go to Robert and Sonia. A few months passed at the Delaunay house.In his shortly later novel "The Murdered Poet", Apollinaire borrowed the characters from the novel Tristouse Ballerinette, the character in the novel, the poet's mistress, Marie Laurent Sen's incarnation.mouth, retaliates against Marie Lorenson:

I would have been an obscure nobody, his Croniamantal, the poet in the novel.Made me so famous. People used to think that I was skinny, with a big mouth, big yellow teeth, uneven face, crooked nose, ugly, but now I am so beautiful-men say so.People used to laugh at me for walking like a man, with my long thin arms dangling like chicken feet in my sleeves, but now I am slender and elegant, and other women copy me.See what miracles a poet's love can do! [Excerpt from "The Murdered Poet" by Guillaume Apollinaire] During the war, the poet still wrote impassioned letters to his muse.According to Philip Suppo, the hard-hearted Mary Lorenson also wrote back to the poet, but in a cruel and ruthless way.Philippe Supo, who respected Apollinaire very much, could not accept the young woman's ruthless and cruel treatment of the man who had lived with her for several years.In addition, in the eyes of the author of "Negro", there are two unforgivable things: Mary Laurenson actually uttered wild words, saying that the poet's works are worthless; what is even more unforgivable is that she has been with Marcel Jouhandeau (1888-1979), a French novelist and biographer, has profound meaning in his works, mostly describing daily life.We've been in close contact...

Thus, Apollinaire passed a difficult period.Not only because Mary Lorenson abandoned him, but also because he was still uneasy: he still had no guarantee of "non-prosecution"; the attacks on him by the right-wing media made his hair stand on end; are at risk of being deported from France. Apollinaire's friends Andre Salmon, René Dalitz, Andre Dudesc, Andre Billy and Serge Yastrzov pooled money to help him and founded a A magazine "Paris Evening" was handed over to him for leadership.After one issue of the publication, the number of direct subscribers dropped from 40 to 1.But letters from all over the world hoped that he could provide them with news services, which greatly encouraged Apollinaire.Accompanied by Serge Yastrtsov, he made a round of Paris every week, delivering some of their magazines to all the bookstores.

Serge Yastrzoff, better known by his painterly name Serge Ferrat, was the half-brother of Baroness Audangan.Baroness Audinjean is Russian, wealthy, well educated, socially experienced, lives in a villa on Rue Saint-Germain, is interested in both painting and literature, and was once a Colonia-Mantal mistress. The Picasso couple who lived on the Avenue de Crissy were not without problems.The Mona Lisa incident also created a wedge between the two of them.Is Fernand's attitude towards Apollinaire too tough?Or did Picasso get angry because of her satire and taunts of the person involved in the article she wrote about the event?Or was it because of Fernand's whims and eccentricities, seeing things differently and changing his mind?Or is the increased social activity driving her to her head?All in all, there was a crisis in the couple's relationship as well.

During that period, Picasso worked with Braque.His bad temper, people have already had a lot of discussion.It was also said that Fernand did not understand Picasso's works.In short, violent quarrels between them have become commonplace.She blamed him for ailments and moaning; he accused her of buying too many clothes and perfumes, and complained endlessly all day long.She scolded him for being "simple-minded like a precocious child" who knew nothing but drawing. Similar quarrels became more and more fierce and frequent.One day, Fernand left without saying goodbye.Came back after spending a few days elsewhere.However, the seeds of resentment had already been planted in his heart.The seeds swelled every day, and gradually began to take root and germinate until 1912. (After many years, Picasso admitted for the first time that he and his Montmartre muse broke up not because of clothes, perfume or the like, but because of the little girl Raymond they adopted and sent back).

Picasso's group of friends ignored the disputes between their husband and wife.After Fernand left "Smart Rabbit", he went to Clotte on Place Blanche or Hermitage on Rue Rochechouart.This has nothing to do with other people, they naturally continue to follow Picasso everywhere.The painters reunited under the questioning eyes of beer-drinking regulars at the tavern counter.They each have their own positions and do not interfere with each other.But when young girls, swayed by the artist's rhetoric, turn the tavern into a meeting place for men and women, fights break out.Someone saw with his own eyes that Picasso was pushed to the ground by a person and gnawed a mouthful of mud.

The regular guests of the tavern, Max Jacob, Apollinaire, and Brac, keep score for the fighters and judge the winners and losers for them. The Italian futurist Ferrat and his sisters, the Baroness, Mei Jingqi, and Malgussi are on the side to assist... … These Italian Futurists were quick to define their principle of action: to do everything possible to show that they were different from others.They wear socks of different colors, but the colors of the socks and ties match.They were painters and poets, headed by Philippe-Tomaso Marinetti, who had successfully solved the problem of Alexandrine and free verse.Here is an excerpt from his poem "The Soldier's Train":

tlactlac ii ii guiiii trrrrrrtrrrrrr (wheel) urrrrrr cuhrrr gurrrrrrr (locomotive) fuufufufuufufu fafafafafa zazazazazaza tzatzatzatza. Tza Beyond their outlandish costumes and exaggerated poetry, the Futurists were the rebels of the future: they were the ones who first tried to ignite the rebellion of the future before Dada and Surrealism.However, they are obviously very foolish to boast that they are the heralds of the art of the future.Their words and deeds must in any case be consistent with the Futurist Manifesto signed by their chief Marinetti (published in Le Figaro, February 20, 1909):

Article 4: We solemnly declare a new type of beauty, that is, the beauty of speed is making our world move towards a brighter and infinitely better tomorrow.A running car equipped with large exhaust pipes, a car running like a ballistic track, than Victoire de Samothrace, Samothrace, Greece, 1863 in the Aegean Sea A marble statue found on the island of Sis, created in the 3rd century BC.Missing the head, but with a pair of wings that symbolize victory, it is called the Statue of Victory and is now preserved in the Louvre Museum in Paris.Pretty. Article 9: We want to glorify war - the only sanitation in the world, glorify militarism, patriotism, destructive actions of anarchists, beautiful ideas of massacres and ideas that discriminate against women.

Article 10: We want to destroy museums, libraries, and fight the disgraceful actions of moralists, feminists, opportunists, and utilitarians. The "Futurist Manifesto" first appeared in the newspapers and immediately aroused strong repercussions in the society. "French New Magazine" made sharp criticism; Jacques Copeau Jacques Copeau (1879-1949), French writer, theater actor and head of the French troupe. In 1913 created the "Old Columbia" troupe.Said that this manifesto was "an exaggerated, incoherent, ridiculous argument" [from the French New Magazine, August 1909]; Italian Mussolini considered them his future reserve army; Apollinaire pointed out: The Futurists were young painters.There is extreme arrogance and brazenness in their statements, but if we try to be tolerant of them, they may be tolerant of others. [Excerpt from The Hardline, February 7, 1912] But the emergence of Futurism brought a great chaos to the Picasso family: Fernand flew with the Futurist painter Hubaldo Opie.When she fell into the real reality, she realized that everything has become unknown from now on.Picasso also left, leaving Paris. Picasso and Eva Guell, fiancée of Marguchy (also a futurist), went to Celette in the Pyrenees.The four of them had met many times in Hermitage in the past, and gradually it was just the two of them meeting alone.Excusing the narrowness of the studio on Clichy Avenue, Picasso rented another house in the "laundry boat" where he lived.Undoubtedly, it was there that they had a secret tryst, which lasted from the winter of 1911 to the spring of 1912.Picasso and Eva's love story lasted for a long time, and Marguchi was very painful for it.His friends advise him to forget about her.It was not so easy for Malgushi to appear magnanimous, however.When he was very angry, people urged him to learn from Christ. "How did Christ do it?" "He forgives adulterous women." "Easy to say. This is not his woman!" Picasso loved the young woman to the point of madness.She has just turned 30 years old, beautiful and charming, with a delicate personality, warm and cheerful, very pleasing to the eye, and especially lovable.He made a portrait of her and wrote an inscription under the portrait: My beauty.To escape Fernand, he takes Eva Guell to Celette in the Pyrenees.Because he was afraid of someone coming to visit, he was transferred to Thorge.Later Brac went to him as well.With the disappearance of the patron saint of the "laundry boat" and the only Queen Fernand, the eight-year relationship between Picasso and her came to an end. Since then, Fernand has never seen Picasso again.After the relationship between them was severed, she successively worked for Puvale, an antique dealer and a gallery. She recited poems in "Smart Rabbit", and worked as a cashier in a butcher shop... In the 1930s, she gave to the Americans in Montparnasse took French phonetics lessons and lived in poverty.Max Jacob went to Picasso, hoping he would help Fernand, but Picasso was indifferent to her difficult situation.So, she decided to write a memoir.She went to the French Courier magazine.She went upstairs and into a dimly lit office.A man with a monocle works there, wearing two coats against the wind and cold.The first was torn, split, and stained; the second was dirty and shorter than the first, but not as worn, which might be why he wore it outside. The paper used to print newspapers was strewn all over the floor, the headlines of the day's paper were covered with chunks of bread, and manuscripts piled up on the bookshelves. The man raised his monocle, greeted the visitor and introduced himself.His name was Paul Leoto, and he loved animals, especially cats.When not working at Le Courier de France, he takes care of his proteges (animals).He looked for a place to adopt for them, and the most urgent thing right now was to find food for them, and the bread on the ground was prepared for them.Miss please sit down... Fernand Olivier had already heard about Paul Léoto shortly after his breakup with Picasso, perhaps from Guillaume Apollinaire: Leoto was accompanied by a woman to dinner .As he raised the glass to his lips, his mistress stopped him and cried out: "You don't clink glasses?" "Of course I do." When he neither said a word nor clinked glasses, the hostess shouted again: "Won't you do better? At least drink to the health of your animals!" "of course!" Leoto smiled and clinked glasses with the woman opposite him, and whispered: "I wish you good health, my dear lady..." Fernand Olivier told the author of "Little Friends" (that is, Leoto) about his tragic situation.He was moved by her plight.He wrote in "Little Friends": Mrs. Fernand Olivier left, and I said to Mrs. Grazianski (reservation employee), if she is really as difficult as she said, and she is so beautiful, she can find a lover. When Leoto saw Fernand again, he looked her up and down carefully, thinking that her "hip must be beautiful".However, it is a pity that "the skin of the blond hair is water red".One day he thought she was very beautiful and the next day she was downright annoying, "with some red patches on the upper part between her two breasts". He collected many flowers for her in the yard and sent them to the big thatched cottage street where she lived.She lives across from the School of Painting.Leoto felt a sudden pang of jealousy: he thought it might be difficult to get this young woman to want to have sex with him.He's 60 and she's so young.He thought she was 40, but she was 46. Leoto did fall in love with Fernand.Listening to her talk about her artistic career, her life of debauchery, and "The Wise Rabbit"... "I'd prefer a bourgeois whore," he thought. When she went to his house (often during the day), he loved her but was a little embarrassed and afraid.She was sitting on a deck chair in the yard, and he noticed that her legs were thick, with many cysts accumulated around her waist, her arms were as thick as her legs, and her breasts stretched to her abdomen.What did that get in the way: "I actually had an erection at the time." He bought a bottle of champagne, and after she left, he drank the whole bottle alone. Soon after, she confided to him all the secrets she kept in her heart: Marie Laurence had no sexual desire; Apollinaire had sex only with clothes on; A coal merchant in Ang Street loved her, and often piled coal in front of the "Hunter's Pavilion" without collecting money; she and Picasso were very harmonious in terms of sex... She has been nostalgic for Picasso, and when she heard that he was sick, she was worried about him; she defended him all the time.When she talked about Picasso, Leoto could read her passion and regret from her face. She said her real problem with Picasso was that she was very lonely.He never spoke to her, and did endless work all day long.One day, Leoto mentioned to her that Serge Ferrat quietly told him that when Picasso confronted Apollinaire in the judge's office, Picasso said he did not know his friend.Fernand was furious, saying that it was purely out of jealousy, because Picasso took away Ferrat's mistress, so he used this method to revenge Picasso... At the request of Georges Charensault, Ferrat wrote the preface to Fernand Olivier's memoirs (the French Courier, which did not think the sales were good, published only a few fragments of it).When Picasso learned that the book was about to be published, he tried to intervene directly at Stoke Publishing House to prevent publication. He proposed to pay all the costs of publishing the book.However, his intervention only delayed the publication of the book.Fernand Olivier's book was finally published in 1933. Twenty years later, Fernand Olivier, in increasingly difficult circumstances, wrote her second book.Madame Braque told Picasso the news.I don't know whether it was for the purpose of delaying publication, or to show his generosity to the old lover, the artist sent her a large sum of money (during the German occupation of France, he also generously helped the French painter Hans Halton went to Spain). As a result, that work sat in Fernand Olivier's wardrobe for thirty years.
