Dick Higgins, one of the main figures of
Fluxus (poet, musician, historian, theoretician, editor) points out the particularity of poet-artists who, since German and English Romanticism, have refused to make distinctions between what is sonorous, visual and written.
Fluxus takes up the flag of

Dick Higgins (1938-1998) was an American composer, poet, printmaker, artist, and a co-founder of
Fluxus in the early 1960's. He was a seminal figure in
Happenings and the
concrete poetry movement.
