Works
Graverol was closely linked to the development of surrealism in Belgium. She would progressively consider her canvases to be "waking, conscious dreams". Her encounters after the war with René Magritte, Louis Scutenaire, Paul Nougé, and then Marcel Mariën, with whom she collaborated on the periodical Les Lèvres nues[1], merely reconfirmed her in her beliefs. Her painting La Goutte d'eau is a collective portrait of the Belgian surrealists.[4] She offered an original, dreamy version of feminine sensibility in painting, served by a figurative technique that was both precise and cold.[5]
Legacy
