Rob Edmunds: The poet Apollinaire in 1916 after he was wounded during Word War I. He coined the term Surrealism in 1917 to describe that new art movement “When man resolved to imitate walking, he invented the wheel, which does not look like a leg. In doing this, he was practicing surrealism without knowing it.”

when seeing the image of Apollinaire, I can't help noticing the resemblance. you look a lot alike! How's that for surrealism?

I can see that! There is at least a passing resemblance between us. I'll have to find an old French army uniform and bandage my head to see if I can complete the look and accentuate the resemblance.
