In the life of Henri Michaux
The whole life1922–1952
Letters to Franz Hellens
He writes letters to Franz Hellens; published only after Michaux's death, they cover 1922–1952.
1940s and 1950s
Association with Tachisme
In the 1940s and 1950s he is associated with Tachisme, though that describes only a small part of his artistic achievement, such as his hallucinatory representations of faces and heads; his work often uses dense, suggestively gestural strokes that incorporate calligraphy, asemic writing and abstract expressionism.
1944
“The Space Within” appears
A collection of hallucinatory lyrics and grotesque-fantastic prose poems; it is followed by “Life in the Folds” (1949) and “Face aux verrous” (1954), and he illustrates many of his books himself.
