EXTRA INFO ARTIST: Raoul Ubac (Malmedy, 31 August 1910 – Dieudonné, 24 March 1985) was a Belgian painter, photographer and sculptor.

After traveling on foot through Europe at the end of the twenties, Ubac settled in Paris in 1930. There he came into contact with Surrealist artists and began creating surrealist photographs and drawings. Later he began a program at the Kunstgewerbeschule in Cologne. In 1938 he participated in an exhibition in Paris, alongside other surrealists.

In 1950 he came into contact with the Cobra movement through Christian Dotremont. He took part in a number of exhibitions together with other Cobra artists.

His work clearly features surrealist characteristics and later became more abstract. Through his contacts with Cobra, he began to experiment with color in particular.

In his later work, we also see mosaics and reliefs.
