In the life of Jean Arp
The whole life1930s
From collage and relief to bronze and stone
From the 1930s Arp, who had worked in collage, assemblage and bas-relief, expanded his work to include bronze and stone sculpture; he also made small works of multiple elements that the viewer could pick up, separate and rearrange into new configurations.
1930s
A house in Clamart designed by Sophie Taeuber
