Exhibited in Paris at the Salon des Indépendants in 1913, Pierre Roy's painting was noticed by Apollinaire, who gave it a glowing review. The following year, Apollinaire planned to publish a collection of ideograms, Et moi aussi je suis peintre [And I Too Am a Painter], with a frontispiece featuring a portrait of the author engraved on wood by Pierre Roy after Giorgio de Chirico.
