This Jean Arp rare vintage 1988 first edition Modernism sculpture hardcover collector's art book is a very special and unique book to add to your library collection.
The hardcover book with embossed spine titles, and dust jacket is published by Ediciones Poligrafa, S.A., Barcelona, printed in Spain in 1988. It features a monograph survey of the Modernist artworks of Jean Arp, with compelling text by author Serge Fauchereau.
The Franco-Swiss sculptor, painter, and poet Hans Peter Wilhelm Arp ( 1886 - 1966 ) was a co-founder of Dadaism and participated in the activities of the Surrealist circle in Paris in the late 1920's. This volume offers an inspiring study of the artist. The illustrations include his paintings, graphics, collages, papiers dechires, sculpture, and reliefs.
Drawn to various aspects of expression, Arp made his most important artistic contribution in sculpture. Always open to revolutionary ideas, always pouring his creative power into new forms, Arp was an outstanding example of the free artist. Independent and open-minded, Arp devoted most of his entire life to refining his concept of artistic vocabulary : The fusion of human and natural elements into organic shapes.
The rare out of print 1st edition Modernism art book measures 8 1/2" W X 12" H X 3/4" D, with 128 pages, featuring 202 illustrations including 157 in full color.
It is in excellent " like new " condition consistent with age and light signs of handling to the dust jacket. The book is in very clean condition. Please see photos for condition reference. It is now being offered here for an excellent price. less
