Jean (Hans) Arp

Jean (Hans) Arp was a pioneering artist associated with abstract and modern art in the early 20th century. He collaborated with major avant-garde movements, such as Dada and Surrealism, and was known for creating sculptures, collages, and writings that emphasized spontaneity and organic forms. Arp believed art should express subconscious ideas and natural shapes, often using irregular, fluid structures. His innovative approach challenged traditional perspectives, fostering new ways of thinking about art's relationship to life's unpredictable, intuitive essence.
