The Flight of Eagles

Bonaparte, Kostrovitski (Godwinson) and Habsburg - the politically charged hidden background of Guillaume Apollinaire, forefather of Surrealism, who coined the term 'Cubism' to describe the revolutionary depiction of reality invented by his friends Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, was a playwright, novelist, art-critic and leading poet of the 20th Century. The Kostrovitski Triptych is a kaleidoscopic tapestry of intertwined stories of Godwinsons, Gediminids, Rurikids, Ostiks, Kostrovitskis, Bonapartes, Habsburgs, Venceliks z Vrchovist and Łada Moczarskis - from Saxon England and Viking Denmark, Rus (Minsk, Muscovy and Novgorod), Lithuania, Poland, France, Austria, Bohemia and elsewhere - from the Middle Ages to the Modern Era.
