	Antonin Artaud (1895-1948)

		Artaud summarized the classical tradition of the French theater, which he found still dominant, as that art which states a problem at the beginning of a play, and solves it by the end.
		Artaud looks upon it as something far more than a mere spectacle: it is a power able to move the spectator closer to the absolute.

		Artaud also recorded his horrific withdrawal from heroin upon entering the land of the Tarahumaras; having deserted his last supply of the drug at a mountainside, he literally had to be hoisted onto his horse, and soon resembled, in his words, "a giant, inflamed gum".
		Artaud also had a profound influence on the philosophers Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, who borrowed Artaud's phrase "body without organs" to describe their conception of the virtual dimension of the body and, ultimately, the basic substratum of reality.

	CESNUR 1997 - Antonin Artaud (Bauer)
		Artaud's way of dealing with suffering, madness, silence, and the meaning of the inarticulate voice makes it clear that he is not a thinker that can be easily identified with, appropriated, or applied by readers.
		Since Artaud's meta-apocalypse intends to destroy the hell of that language which mendaciously asserts itself as the place in which truth is manifested, he recurs to the a-theological strategy of subverting the trinitarian soteriology in toto by putting it under the sign of an evil principle.
		Artaud's basic contention is that van Gogh was not a madman, but extra-lucide [49] [extra-lucid], and that he did not commit suicide, for it was society that suicided him, as is already announced in the title of the essay.

	Antonin Artaud: Noah's Ark outside Time by S. Giora Shoham - JCJPC, Volume 8, Issue 3
		Artaud was born in 1896 and died in 1948.
		Artaud understood that the theater is a means for structuring mythogenes which lend meaning to the lives both of performer and spectator, just as the paintings of van Gogh mythogenically linked the artist and his audience over time and space, and revealed some important insight, to both.
		Artaud was most susceptible to solipsism since his eccentricity and deviance set him apart, and the psychiatric drugs and electroshocks reduced his ability and desire to communicate with his surroundings, an ability and desire which were meager to begin with.

	Mad as Hell - Antonin Artaud's pictures from a psychiatric institution. By Luc Sante
		Antonin Artaud suffered his first depressive breakdown at 16; at 21, he was diagnosed with hereditary syphilis (his parents, in addition, were first cousins).
		Artaud was a revolutionary who was fighting for the overthrow of the constraints that define consciousness.
		Artaud's art is insidious; its penetration of what we know is so acute, its lucidity so much the equal of its delusion, that deciding where the one leaves off and the other begins can seem merely a measure of our own delusions.

		Artaud toys shamelessly with his helpmate and supporter, teasing him the way a beautiful woman might tease a love-struck boy.
		As Artaud makes his rounds through the Parisian lower depths, looking for dope and expounding on everything from his own abysmal suffering to the imagined conspiracies of his enemies to his all-or-nothing philosophies on art, Mordillat does a masterly job of evoking the lethargic dissolution, experimentation and promiscuity of bohemian postwar Paris.

	Theatre of Cruelty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	PLEXUS / REVIEW: Dominique Nahas - Antonin Artaud
		Artaud's pencil lines unravel to depict an unkempt head that seems to have risen to the top of the large white-filled page, untethered and floating, its long fragile, tapered neck wrenched from the rest of the body.
		His urgent task in his drawings of himself, and those of his friends, is to convey the ferocity, the terroristic nature of the utter provisionality of his response to his yearnings for freedom, as well as the grim acceptance of his inner torments.
		On these pages we also see the physical act that drawing was for him through the scratchings, the tearings, the rips, the creases, his markings resembling, at times, barbed wire, thorns or pastoral execrences, infesting the surfaces of his tight-lipped subjects indicating a great, impenetrable, and magnificent malaise of body and soul.
