Jean Arp

Jean Arp was a prominent French-German artist, poet, and sculptor known for his role in the Dada movement and Surrealism. Born in 1886, he created abstract works that emphasized organic forms and spontaneous, natural shapes, often influenced by nature and chance. Arp’s art included sculptures, collages, and paintings that challenged conventional techniques and perspectives. He believed in the power of intuition and the subconscious, which reflected his interest in exploring the irrational aspects of life. His innovative approach continues to inspire artists, making him a significant figure in 20th-century modern art. Arp passed away in 1966.
