However, such was the span of his creativity, Claus also broke into the art world with his involvement with the CoBrA group alongside Corneille and Karel Appel with whom he participated in exhibitions.

« Go now, verses, on your light feet, you have not trodden hard on the old earth where the graves laugh when they see their guests, the one corpse stacked on top of the other. »
Hugo Claus

His artistic outputs were often surrealist paintings depicting the human form – a long-standing fascination for Claus that permeated all of his creative endeavours.

What is Surrealism?

Surrealism began in the 1920s with artists and writers whose works aimed to reveal the unconscious to unleash subconscious imagination, and explore unusual imagery. Bringing the unconscious into rational life was one key thematic goal of this group influenced by Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalysis theories.
