Pol Bury was a Belgian sculptor and artist, celebrated for integrating movement into his sculptures and pioneering the kinetic art movement. Born on April 26, 1922, Bury began as a painter in the Jeune Peintre Belge and the COBRA groups, later transitioning to sculpture. His most renowned work, the fountain-sculpture 'L'Octagon', is a highlight in San Francisco.
