I am also focusing mainly on his imprisonment during WWII in prison camp Stalag IV C located in current Czech Republic; his activity in a group of Revolutionary Surrealists between 1947 and 1948, which also included members of Czech Group Ra; and his exhibitions in Czechoslovakia in the 1960's. His work had been introduced to our country thanks to the affiliation of Brno based surrealist group Lacoste along with the international group C.I.A.F.M.A. (Centre international d'actualité fantastique et magique) which was founded in 1958 in Brussels, Bucaille was also among the founders of this group.
