Abstract
Henri Michaux (1899-1984), escritor y dibujante, exploró las posibilidades de conocimiento que otorgaban diversos estados alterados de conciencia. Entre otras investigaciones, en el período 1955-1960 experimentó con drogas psicodélicas, en especial la mescalina. Sus numerosos testimonios en forma gráfica (principalmente dibujos) y escrita (cuatro libros monográficos, más otros textos) conforman un corpus de primer orden para el análisis de las repercusiones de la alteración de la conciencia sobre la creación plástica y literaria. El artículo recurre en gran medida al cotejo de textos e imágenes de Michaux.
