Régine Raufast
Régine Raufast (died 1946) was a French
Nazi occupation of France.[1]
Life
Alongside the poet Laurence Iché and the Czech artist Tita, Raufast was active in La main à plume, writing a poem for its first collective publication.[2]
She had a relationship with Raoul Ubac, and was the model for Ubac's 1939 photograph La Nébuleuse. Her subsequent relationship with Christian Dotremont lasted from April 1941 to March 1943.[3] She was the inspiration for two long poems by Dotremont in 1942, Oleossoonne or the Speculative Moment and The Queen of the Walls.[4]
Raufast committed suicide in 1946. Dotremont wrote a posthumous tribute to her in the Belgian surrealist journal Suractuel.[5]
