Occupation Playwright, librettist

Paul Bilhaud (31 December 1854 - 8 January 1933) was a French playwright and librettist. An old friend of the author Alphonse Allais, he is remembred along his friend as a forerunner of minimalism with his painting Combat de nègres dans un tunnel ("(Negroes fight in a tunnel)"), displayed for the first time in 1882, more than thirty years before the « Black Square » by Kazimir Malevich [1]
