Henri Michaux is widely recognized as a major twentieth-century
French poet and painter. Although his fascination with universal
languages has attracted the attention of several of his critics, it
has up until now been treated as a marginal concern. Henri Michaux:
Poetry, Painting, and the Universal Sign argues that his ideas on
what might constitute a universal language are central to an
understanding of his works. It suggests that both his ambivalent
articulation of his relationship to the languages and literary
traditions of his native Belgium and adoptive France, and his
efforts simultaneously to exacerbate and subvert the differences
between words and images, are rooted in Enlightenment theories of
the relationship of the self to nature and its language
Rigaud-Drayton's study makes a substantial and original
contribution to the study of this complex artist, exploring the
intricate relationships between word and image in his poetry and
paintings, and his quest for a single, unifying language or sign.
