Francisco de Asís León Bogislao de Greiff Haeusler (1895 –1976),
was a Colombian poet known for his stylistic innovations and deliberately
eclectic use of obscure lexicon.
Best known simply as León de Greiff, he often used different
pen names. The most popular were Leo le Gris and Gaspar de Nuit. The name León
was given after Leo Tolstoy.
De Greiff was one of the founders of Los Panidas, a literary
and artistic group established in 1915 in the city of Medellín.
