ENZ

A self-educated painter, sculptor and writer, Enz was born info a working class family. During his eventful life, he has acquired an astounding philosophical erudition and an unquestionable picturial technique.

His autobiography Passage vers l?autre rive (Passage towards the bank) written in a fluid style and with a concise cocabulary, allows the reader to trace the difficult moments of his life, into the innermost depths of humanity. A spark of genius springs out of his degrading, shameful adventures to lead him, through deep, philosophical thought of oriental inspiration, to the discovery of Art Mushin.

Enz is confirmed as an artist and a writer through many of his publications L?Eveil interdit (a story of the inner progress of a young Arab boy who lives with the Bedouins in the Sahara desert) ; Passage vers l?autre rive (Passage towards the other bank) : followed by the L?Oeuvre au Noir or La Nigredo (Opus Nigrum), his autobiography written in the form of a novel : Hilarion a (a tale of fantasy) ; Le Secret de la mort (The Secrecy of death), an essay setting out his interpretation of The Bardo Thodol ? The Tibetan book of the Death.

An art critic said about him :

?With a growing persuasion, Enz seems to go the final explosion of hall his Great Work? as he would say.

An after seeing Enz?s picturial works, Doctor Henri Duplaix, an outstanding member of the French Society of Analytic Psychology has said : ?It is only given to some of us to be able to find out in deep pain and disorientation the way which cuts a path through the darkness?, and about his autobiography, he has added ?If you read his biography you will feel little by that it?s somehow or other, you own biography?.
