Jean Arp

This is an interesting artist. His name is Jean Arp (and had to legally change from Hans to Jean when Alsace-Lorraine switched from German to French).

I thought this was funny: he was supposed to be drafted but when he was registering put the date in every blank on the form and then took off all his clothes when he walked over to turn in his paper-work.

He was a part of the surrealist and dada movements and contributed a lot to relief sculpture. He also wrote in Free conscious style, and wrote poetry.
