Happy Birthday to Jean Arp, born on this day in 1886!In 1916, inspired by forms and growth patterns
Happy Birthday to Jean Arp, born on this day in 1886!In 1916, inspired by forms and growth patterns in the natural world, Arp invented the new style of organic abstraction that would later be adopted by Surrealists and other artists. Seen from various angles, this abstract sculpture suggests a muscular male torso, the moon’s cratered surface, or even a ghostly apparition. “Evocation of a Form: Human, Lunar, Spectral” (1950) is on view in our sculpture garden! -- source link
