Jean / Hans Arp

When doing research on Andy Warhol and pop art across the 1950s and 60s, I came across a pretty interesting sculptor, painter, and poet by the name of Jean Arp. Jean Arp was a German-French pop artist, who when speaking in French referred to himself as Jean, but when speaking French referred to himself as Hans. Arp was a found member of the DaDa movement in 1916, and his work appeared in a surrealist art exhibition. Arp moved towards poetry and essays in the later parts of his life. Here are some of my favorite works by him.
