This
is a sculpture made of wood relief, assembled like a collage
rather that carved. Arp began making wood reliefs in 1914 and
added color to them in 1916. These reliefs served as a bridge
to his later sculpture in the round. Arp regarded his simplified
forms as emblems of natural growth process. He wrote: I looked
for new constellations of form 'I put my trust in the examples
of seeds, stars, clouds, plants, animals, men, and finally in
my innermost being.' One can see a playfulness and abstract simplicity
in his wood relief sculpture. |
