Henri Michaux is a French poet and artist associated with Surrealism and the post-war avant-garde movement.
Michaux's early artistic endeavours revolved around writing and poetry. In his poetry he explored themes of existentialism, spirituality and the human condition, often experimenting with language and form. His writing style was characterised by introspection, the exploration of consciousness and the search for meaning.
In 1925, after a Surrealist exhibition he saw in Paris, Henri Michaux began to paint and draw. His visual arts encompassed a wide range of styles and techniques. Michaux experimented with ink, watercolour and oil paintings, creating evocative and energetic compositions. His works often conveyed a sense of movement, rhythm and spontaneity and were influenced by the aesthetics of calligraphy and gesticulation.
