Jean Arp / Hans Arp
16 September 1886
Jean/Hans Arp was a German-French, or Alsatian, sculptor, painter, poet and abstract artist in other media such as torn and pasted paper.
(When Arp spoke in German he referred to himself as "Hans", and when he spoke in French he referred to himself as "Jean". Many people believe that he was born Hans and later changed his name to Jean, but this is not the case.)
In drawing systems we have been doing collage and I really loved this guy's work. Andrew brought up the subject of Dada collage and general collage and their meanings. The way collage either had no meaning or was left to the viewer to interpret. Well this is what I understood anyway. I want to look into this a little more, and really think it's important for us to think about if we want our collage to be interpreted in one way or many.
