Original color engraving, signed, numbered 53/150 Original abstrakt engraving by Pol Bury. In 1938/39 he studied at the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Mons. In 1939 he was a founding member of the,Group Rapture'. From 1949 to 1951 he was involved in the CoBrA initiative, which was founded in Paris in 1948 by the Danish painter Asger Jorn, the Belgian writer Christian Dotremont and the Dutch painter Karel Appel. After joining the,Art Abstrait' group of artists, he turned away from painting altogether in 1953. In 1957 he developed the first mobile kinetic sculpture with a motor. In 1964 Pol Bury, who had lived in Paris since 1960, represented Belgium at the Venice Biennale. Bury moved to New York from 1966 to 1968. In 1970 he accepted a teaching position at the University of California, Berkeley, and in 1973 he taught at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, which awarded Pol Bury an honorary doctorate. Since 1983, Pol Bury has been a professor of sculpture at the École national supérieure des beaux-arts de Paris (ENSBA). He took part in the documenta III in Kassel in 1964 and was also represented as an artist at the 4th documenta in 1968. Pol Bury initially belonged to the surrealist and communist movement of abstraction, first as a painter and later as a sculptor. In his first works he was significantly influenced by his compatriots Magritte and Ubac. After retiring from painting in 1953, he established himself as one of the most renowned kinetic artists. Pol Bury creates objects that perform extremely slow movements and thus put perception to the test. He first develops his works as reliefs that depict the movement of serial elements such as discs or pins. The demand and the contemporary public interest in kinetic energies and kinetic art gave birth to his first large objects of monumental sculptures in 1973. Since 1976 he has built numerous fountains, always in the context and on the basis of the basic shapes sphere, cone, cylinder, cube and cuboid. In his graphic works ('Cinétisations', since 1964) he presents the problem of movement. Pol Bury also worked on film between 1968 and 1976, e.g. with Clovis Prevost.
