Guillaume Apollinaire by Louis Marcoussis is a notable etching and drypoint portrait created by the Polish-born French artist Louis Marcoussis, born Ludwik Kazimierz Wladyslaw Markus, in 1913. The work is a representation of the influential French poet, playwright, and art critic Guillaume Apollinaire, who was a central figure in the Parisian avant-garde and a pioneer of Surrealism and Cubism.

The portrait is rendered in a Cubist style, reflecting the artistic movements with which both the artist and the subject were intimately connected. Marcoussis was known for his association with the Cubist movement and his close friendships with leading artists such as Pablo Picasso and Juan Gris. His depiction of Apollinaire is characterized by fragmented and geometric forms that suggest multiple viewpoints, a hallmark of Cubist art.

In the portrait, Apollinaire is depicted with a thoughtful expression, his features reassembled in an abstract manner that captures his intellectual presence and the innovative spirit of the era. The composition combines sharp lines and softer shading, demonstrating Marcoussis's skill in the etching medium and his ability to convey depth and character through the Cubist lens.

This work is significant not only as a piece of art but also as a historical document, capturing the likeness of one of the early 20th century's most important literary figures through the eyes of a contemporary and fellow avant-garde artist. The portrait of Guillaume Apollinaire by Louis Marcoussis is held in various art collections and has been the subject of study for its artistic merit and its place within the context of early modernist art.

As a testament to their friendship and mutual respect, Apollinaire wrote about Marcoussis's art, and Marcoussis created this portrait, which stands as a tribute to the poet who coined the term "Cubism" and who, through his writings, helped to define the new directions in art that were emerging in the early 20th century.
