life and work

Reinhoud D'Haese was born into a family of artists and grew up with his brother Roel D'Haese (1921–1996) and his sister Begga D'Haese (* 1939) in the province of East Flanders . As an artist he was called Reinhoud. He initially trained as a goldsmith and then studied metal and sculpture at the École d'architecture et des arts décoratifs in Brussels from 1947 to 1951 .

In 1949 he worked on the renovation of the Ateliers du Marais in Brussels and was one of the first to work there as an artist. This brought him into contact with Pierre Alechinsky and the CoBrA artists' association . Reinhoud made objects in metal. Four of his works were shown at the CoBrA exhibition in Liège in 1941 . Further exhibitions with the artist group followed. In 1957 Reinhoud received the “Young Belgian Sculpture” award and in 1959 a Belgian state scholarship. In 1983 he realized the work of art “Stop the Run” in the “Ossegem metro station” in Brussels.

“The sculptor Reinhoud, who was directly involved in the conversion of the studio on Rue du Marais, did not find his personal expression until 1958. From then on he gave the COBRA family a whole crowd of children in the form of enigmatic and funny fantasy figures made of metal (and smaller ones made of bread dough). "
