Henri Michaux — Sans titre
Henri Michaux

Sans titre

1955

A dynamic interplay of watercolour washes and ink marks creates a dense, turbulent field of gestural signs and forms across the paper. Michaux's characteristic visual language emerges through rhythmic, agitated marks that suggest an interior world suspended between writing and pure abstraction. The work pulses with an urgent, almost feverish energy, as fluid pools of colour dissolve into and around clusters of insistent black strokes.

Medium
watercolour and ink on paper
