| - | Bataille's parents died when he was young. He went to the [[École des Beaux-Arts]] to study painting, but started writing when he was 14. Henry wrote plays and poems, but after the success of his second play, ''La Lépreuse'', he became a playwright exclusively. Bataille's early works were about the effects of passion on human motivation and how stifling the social conventions of the times could be. For example, ''Maman Colibri'', is about a middle-aged woman's affair with a younger man. Later, Bataille would gravitate towards the [[theater of ideas]] and social drama. | + | |

Jean-Jacques Bernard (30 July 1888 – 14 September 1972) was a French playwright and the chief representative of what became known as l’école du silence or, as some critics called it, the art of the unexpressed, in which the dialogue does not express the characters’ real attitudes. In Martine (1922), perhaps the best example of his work, emotions are implied in gestures, facial expressions, fragments of speech and silence. He was active from 1912 to 1939.
