((1910-1985). Raoul Ubac est né le 31 aoűt 1910 ŕ Malmedy, petite ville de l'Ardenne belge, oů la famille de sa mčre exploite une tannerie depuis plusieurs générations et oů son pčre est juge de paix. De 1920 ŕ 1928 il suit ses études ŕ Malmedy, parcourt ŕ pied une partie de l'Europe et effectue en 1928 un premier séjour ŕ Paris oů il rencontre notamment le peintre Otto Freundlich. En 1929 un jeune professeur lui fait découvrir le premier "Manifeste du surréalisme".

De 1930 ŕ 1934, lors d'un deuxičme séjour ŕ Paris, Raoul Ubac noue des contacts avec les surréalistes et fréquente les ateliers de Montparnasse. Il s'inscrit ensuite ŕ l'École d'Arts appliqués de Cologne oů il travaille le dessin et la photographie. Au cours d'un voyage en Dalmatie, il réalise en 1932 dans l'île de Hvar des "assemblages de pierres trouvées" qu'il dessine et photographie. Il s'éloigne alors de la peinture pour se consacrer ŕ la création de photographies d'esprit surréaliste, qu'il expose en 1933, pour lesquelles il utilise les procédés du brűlage, de la solarisation et de la pétrification.

En collaboration avec Camille Bryen qu'il vient de rencontrer, Raoul Ubac publie ŕ Paris en 1934, sous le nom de Raoul Michelet, un recueil de počmes et de photographies. Avec Bryen encore il dépose "des "objets" dans les endroits les plus inattendus", affiche "des počmes et images sur les murs" et partage de 1936 ŕ 1939 toutes les activités des surréalistes, côtoyant Hans Bellmer, Benjamin Péret, Victor Brauner et Raoul Hausmann. Ŕ partir de 1936 il s'engage dans une série de photographies autour du Combat de Penthésilée (la Reine des Amazones et Achille) dans lesquelles il combine de multiples procédés : association des négatifs, surimpression et solarisation, superposition ou décalage du négatif et du positif qui donne une impression de pétrification, brűlage ou voilage. Souvent il réutilise des fragments de nus de ses deux modčles, sa femme Agui et Marthe. Certaines de ses photographies sont publiées entre 1937 et 1939 dans la revue Minotaure et André Breton lui commande en 1938 la photographie des mannequins présentés ŕ l'Exposition internationale du surréalisme. Il apprend parallčlement en 1936 la gravure dans l'atelier de Stanley Hayter et se lie avec Roger Gilbert-Lecomte.

En 1940 Raoul Ubac quitte Paris pour Carcassonne avec René Magritte, Louis (Jean ŕ cette époque) Scutenaire et Irčne Hamoir, puis vit entre Paris et Bruxelles oů il fait en 1941 la derničre exposition exclusivement consacrée ŕ ses photographies et oů il participe ŕ L'invention collective. Ayant fait la connaissance du počte Jean Lescure qui la dirige, il collabore activement ŕ la revue Messages, oů il rencontre Éluard, Queneau et André Frénaud qui ne cessera d'accompagner amicalement son travail. En 1942 il illustre Exercice de la pureté de Jean Lescure puis abandonnera la photographie en 1945.

La guerre l'éloigne en effet du surréalisme : il commence dčs 1939 de dessiner ŕ la plume "les objets les plus simples", verres et flacons, fruits et pains, ciseaux ou couteaux posés sur une table (exposition en 1943 préfacée par Jean Lescure). En 1946 il ramasse en Haute-Savoie un éclat d'ardoise et commence avec un clou ŕ la graver, réalise des gouaches sur le thčme des Tętes. Jean Lescure lui ayant fait connaître Bazaine et ses amis non figuratifs, leurs recherches sur les formes et les couleurs l'aident, dit-il, "ŕ faire l'effort d'aborder ces problčmes sans passer par les phantasmes" dont il avait été tributaire. Raoul Ubac aborde ŕ nouveau la peinture, ŕ l'œuf, pour une série non figurative de Personnages couchés dans des lumičres sourdes. Ŕ partir de 1951 la galerie Aimé Maeght expose réguličrement ses gouaches et ses toiles, préfacées par André Frénaud, Georges Limbour ou Yves Bonnefoy. Ubac ne cesse simultanément de graver des ardoises qui deviennent ŕ mesure des reliefs et dont il introduit en 1955 des fragments dans ses tableaux.

Dans les années 60 ses peintures, sur panneaux recouverts de résines amalgamées, réalisent une synthčse et un épanouissement, autour des thčmes des Labours et des Sillons, des Corps et des Torses, du double travail qu'il pousuivra jusqu'ŕ sa mort en 1985.

Raoul Ubac a réalisé en ardoise plusieurs reliefs, haut-reliefs et décors muraux pour des édifices publics et privés. On lui doit également plusieurs ensembles de vitraux, notamment, en 1961, pour l'église de Varengeville-sur-Mer (en collaboration avec Georges Braque) et , en 1967, la chapelle de la Fondation Maeght ŕ Saint-Paul de Vence, des mosaďques et des tapisseries. Il a illustré de ses dessins, gravures et lithographies une trentaine de livres (André Frénaud, Yves Bonnefoy, Christian Dotremont, Lucien Scheler, Jacques Dupin…).

Des œuvres d'Ubac sont présentées dans de nombreux musées de France et d'Europe. En 1980 les Postes françaises ont émis un timbre reproduisant l'un de ses tableaux. Ubac fait partie des peintres réunis pour l'exposition "L'envolée lyrique, Paris 1945-1956" présentée au Musée du Luxembourg (Sénat), avril-aoűt 2006 (Sans titre, 1947)
In: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raoul_Ubac * * * * * Rodolphe Raoul Ubac was born in Malmédy, a Belgian territory, in 1910 and studied first to become a forest ranger. From 1927 until 1930 he travelled extensively on foot in France, Belgium Austria, Germany, Switzerland and Italy.

He also lived in Paris, in Belgium, in Germany and Austria and studied literature before discovering the photographic works of Man Ray and Max Ernst’s Surrealist paintings. He first opted to become a photographer and with Camille Bryen published in 1934 some poems and photos. Then Ubac became acquainted with engraving working in Hayter’s studio in 1936 in Paris.
From 1936 until 1939, Ubac worked closely with the group of Surrealist artists in Paris and his photos were often published in the famed «Minotaur» magazine.

At the outbreak of World War Two, Ubac sought refuge in Carcassonne and started to produce drawings. Back in Paris in 1942, he befriended some poets such as Jean Lescure, Raymond Queneau and Paul Eluard and provided six photos for the illustration of Lescure’s «L’Exercice de la pureté». From then on, Ubac produced large ink drawings and took part in the activities of the «Main à Plume» group, which was trying to perpetuate the spirit of Surrealism at that time.
Ubac exhibited his photos and drawings in Paris in 1943 but gave up his photographic activities two years later in order to devote himself to the production of drawings and gouaches.

He took part in three exhibitions, which took place in London, Brussels and Paris in 1946 and started to engrave tiles at the same time. A year later, Ubac produced his first paintings though he preferred the use of tempera instead of oil.
In 1950, Ubac exhibited his engraved tiles and developed his carving technique on such medium.
After befriending Jean Bazaine, Ubac turned towards abstraction giving a priority to perception and creation as well, producing either vertical or horizontal checker-boards, which were seldom coloured with large black patches using various pretexts regarding their significance.
Until 1955, his paintings tended to express a will for some change. That year, he produced a painting containing large tile fragments and painted a similar work a year later.

However it was not until 1966 that Ubac decided to show works marrying paintings and low-relief effects, which included a plastic vocabulary implying some conceived organisation. Ubac was then painting as if he had been carving a sculpture creating furrows and stratified zones as if he had been striving to be in contact with the earth and its soil inside some kind of architecture.
Ubac took part in many important exhibitions from 1953 in Belgium, Italy, Switzerland, France, Brazil, Germany, the U.S, Canada, England, Japan and South America.
Ubac also produced many architectural integrations such as a tombstone for the de Chambure family in 1955, a wall made of tiles in Pittsburgh in 1957, a mosaic and tile wall in Evian, stained glass works for several churches, mural mosaics and tapestries.

This quite secret artist, who was awarded the Carnegie Prize in 1953, once said that he had tried to link the human body with stones in order to understand our nakedness. He died in 1984. In: http://www.artcult.com/ubac.htm

Raoul Ubac was born in Malmedy (Walloon, Belgium) August 31, 1910 and died in Dieudonné (Oise) March 24, 1985.

Between 1920 and 1928 he studied in Malmedy. He travelled through part of Europe on foot and found himself in Paris in 1928, where he met the painter Otto Freundlich. In 1929, a young professor introduced him to the First Surrealist Manifesto. From 1930 to 1934, Raoul Ubac made contact with the Surrealists and frequented their workshops in Montparnasse. He enrolled at the School of Applied Arts in Cologne where he worked on drawing and photography. During a trip to Dalmatie, he created in 1932 on the island of Hvar "collections of found stones" that he drew and photographed. He thus moved away from painting to devote himself to the creation of photographs of a Surrealist spirit, which he exhibited in 1933 and for which he used burning processes, from solarisation to petrification.

His photographs were published in the review Minotaure and André Breton asked him in 1938 to photograph the models presented at the International Exposition of Surrealism. In 1940, he managed the review L'invention collective (the Collective Invention) with René Magritte. He lived between Paris and Brussels where, in 1941, he held his last exposition of photographs which was quickly shut down by order of the invading country. By the intervention of Jean Lescure, he met Paul Éluard, Raymond Queneau and André Frénaud, the latter who frequently accompany him in his work, writing texts and poems for him. He gave up photography in 1945.

The war distanced him from Surrealism: he began in 1939 to draw with a quill "the simplest of objects," glasses and bottles, fruits and breads, scissors and knives posed on a table. Jean Lescure introduced him to Bazaine and his non-figurative friends, their research on forms and the colors that help them, he said, "to make the effort to tackle these problems without passing through fantasy" on which he depended. Raoul Ubac returned to painting.

Starting in 1951, the Maeght Gallery regularly exposed his gouaches and canvases and the expositions were accompanied by prefaces by André Frénaud, Georges Limbour, Claude Esteban and Yves Bonnefoy.

Ubac continued engraving slates that became reliefs and which in 1955 became fragments in his paintings. In the 1960s, his paintings on panels covered with mixed resin achieved a synthesis and a development around the themes of ploughing and furrowing, bodies and torsos, a double work which he pursued until his death in 1985.

Raoul Ubac made several reliefs and murals for public and private structures alike in slate. He also made the stained-glass windows for the church of Varengeville-sur-Mer, in 1961 (in collaboration with Georges Braque) and, in 1964, a large stained-glass window for the chapel of the Maeght Foundation in Saint-Paul de Vence. He illustrated numerous books edited by Maeght with his drawings, engravings and lithographs including texts by André Frénaud, Yves Bonnefoy, Christian Dotremont, Lucien Scheler and Claude Esteban. He also created a cover for the review Argile, published by Maeght from 1973 to 1981.

Ubac's works are presented in numerous museums in France and Europe. In 1980, the French mail service, la Poste, created a stamp representing one of his paintings. Ubac's works were also part of the exposition "L'envolée lyrique" (The Lyric Flight), Paris 1945-1956, presented at the Musée du Luxembourg (Sénat), April-August 2006.
