Reinhoud d'Haese (21 October 1928 - 01 July 2007),[1] known mononymously as Reinhoud, was a Belgian sculptor known for his surrealistic style of sculptures.
Reinhoud was born in 1928 in Grammont, Belgium and the brother of sculptors Degga and .[2] [3] He originally trained to become a goldsmith at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts but pursued sculpting instead.[4] Reinhoud joined the Cobra group in 1949 after being introduced by Pierre Alechinsky.[5] Reinhoud was awarded the Prize for Young Belgian Sculpture in 1957.
In 1959, Reinhoud moved to La Bosse, France, where he died on 24 June 2007.[6]
