Artist
Emmett Williams was an American visual poet and performer who pioneered concrete poetry and intermedia art in the postwar period. Working across typography, sound, and staged performance, he created linguistic compositions that treated words as formal objects rather than vessels of conventional meaning. His work appeared in Fluxus contexts and influenced generations of experimental poets and artists engaged with the materiality of language itself.
