"Otto Wols was born in Berlin in 1913 and after studying art and science in Germany he found in the south of France and in Paris, from 1933 up to his death in 1951, a land of inspiration for anything he dared. In his lifetime Wols socialised with an impressive number of creators and illustrated the texts of Artaud, Sartre, Kafka, Bryen, and Solier. Later these works would be exhibitied next to great artists such as Fautrier, Michaux, Dubuffet, Ernst, Brauner, Giacometti, and Tzara, in galleries which would play a major role in his emergence.
