Artist

Charles Henri Ford (1908, 2002) was an American poet, filmmaker, and editor who worked across multiple avant-garde practices throughout the twentieth century. He founded View magazine in 1940, a pivotal platform for Surrealist and experimental work in the United States during and after World War II. Ford's own practice encompassed collage, photography, and cinema, often incorporating found materials and exploring the intersection of literary and visual abstraction. His long career bridged Modernism and the postwar avant-garde, maintaining a consistent commitment to formally innovative work across media.
