Marcel Broodthaers (1924-1976) was a Belgian poet, filmmaker and visual artist, briefly associated with the surrealist movement after World War II and taking part in the beginnings of the “surréalisme-revolutionnaire” (revolutionary surrealism) movement in 1947. At the end of 1963, after spending 20 years in poverty as a struggling poet, he decided to become an artist and began to make objects. In the last twelve years of his life Broodthaers created a richly varied, elusive, and influential body of work, in which he explores the nature and meaning of language, word and image, and rhetoric. His work encompasses poetry, writing, books, film, photography, slides, drawing, painting, and sculpture.
