Life

She later lived in Verviers, Belgium . In 1949 she met Louis Scutenaire , Marcel Lecomte and René Magritte and then took part in the surrealist movement in Belgium. She founded the magazine Temps mêlés with André Blavier in 1952 . She and Marcel Mariën became a couple and worked together artistically. Together with him and Paul Nougé , she edited the avant-garde , Stalinist- oriented publication Les Lèvres nues and became its editor-in-chief.
The acquaintance with André Breton and Marcel Duchamp in the 1960s in New York once again promoted their style of painting. During this time Gaston Ferdière became her life partner. She moved to France. In 1984 she died in Fontainebleau.
