1934
Louis Marcoussis (French, born Poland, 1878-1941) based on a poem by Guillaume Apollinaire (French, born Italy, 1880-1918)
France
The poem, dedicated to the French artist André Derain, reads, in part:I named her Rosemonde
Lest I forget
Mouth flowered in Holland
Then slowly I took my way
Seeking the rose of the world
