Hans Arp
Jean (Hans) Arp ( September 16, 1886, Strasbourg - June 7, 1966 )
Dadaïst, surrealist painter and sculptor.In 1911, Arp took part in an exhibition with Matisse et Picasso. He met Kandinsky, the Delaunays and,
a few time before W.W.I, Max Ernst, Modigliani and Apollinaire. He also joined the Blaue Reiter movement.
In 1916 in Zurich,he was a cofundator of Dadaïsm and had illustrated, in this way, several books such
as Le Passager du Transatlantique by Péret or Vingt Cinq Poèmes by Tzara.
He started painting in 1917, worked on collages, on tapestries, wrote poems and made his first «reliefs»
( wooden coloured panels, cut or superposed).
In 1930, he began to use marble and plaster and published his first poems written in French.
"Bosse-ronde" sculpting got more and more importance in his work Which was expected to produce
pieces of reality, finding inspiration in natural shapes.
As years goes by, his sculptures got more concentrated, purer; his shattered poems got ironical
in respect with static artistic or intellectual way of thinking.
During the last years of his life, an heart disease prevented him from hewing materials, then he
lately came back to the work on plaster, painted wood, and created new «reliefs».
