Jean (Hans) Arp was a German-French artist and sculptor who played a defining role in the Dada movement. Born in Strasbourg in 1886, Arp started creating art as a child and went on to study at the École des Arts et Métiers, the Académie Julian, and the Académie Colarossi in Paris. In the 1910s, he moved to Switzerland, where he met other Dadaists, including Tristan Tzara and Marcel Janco.
Arp was known for his use of chance and spontaneity in his work, which often included abstract forms and biomorphic shapes. He was interested in exploring the relationship between art and nature and frequently used natural materials such as wood and stone in his sculptures. Some of his most famous sculptures include the "Squares Arranged according to the Laws of Chance" (1917-18) and "Torso with Buds" (1934).
Arp's art had a significant influence on the development of Surrealism, which emerged from the Dada movement in the 1920s. He continued to create art throughout his life, and his work has been exhibited in major museums and galleries around the world. Arp died in Basel, Switzerland in 1966.
