Was Henry Miller a Surrealist?
1 Answer

Whether Henry Miller was a Surrealist depends on what category of his work you're considering. With their stream-of-consciousness style, his novels and short stories do align with the characteristics of Surrealist literature. However, experts normally don't consider his watercolor paintings to be Surrealist art, as Miller began painting later in life after the movement ended.
