Arp, Composition, XXe Siècle (after)

1958

About the Item

Original Edition Lithograph on wove paper. Unsigned and unnumbered, as issued. Good Condition; never framed or matted. Notes: From the volume, XXe Siècle, n°11, 1958. Published by Editions XXe Siècle, Paris; Printed by Mourlot, Paris, 1958. JEAN ARP (1886-1966), something of a one-man movement, he could—and did—make anything into art. Best-known for his biomorphic sculptures, and one of the most versatile creative minds of the early-20th century, he fashioned sculptures out of plaster, stone and bronze, and also expressed himself in paintings, drawings, collages, and poems. His approach to form, often referred to as organic abstraction, was remarkably consistent: his wavy lines suggested plants, body parts and other natural motifs, while remaining entirely abstract. Like an extraterrestrial on earth for the very first time, Arp's genius was in presenting visual information as if he is first seeing it. Transformation, growth, fecundity, and metamorphosis are among the dominant themes in his work. Arp was in the milieu of Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse.
