In the life of Henri Michaux

The whole life
  1. 1922–1952

    Letters to Franz Hellens

    He writes letters to Franz Hellens; published only after Michaux's death, they cover 1922–1952.

  2. 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.

  3. 1949

    “A Barbarian in Asia” in English

    Sylvia Beach's English translation of “A Barbarian in Asia” appears.

  4. 1950

    “Passages”, essays on painting
