Jean Arp's "Before my Birth./Avant ma naissance
Jean (Hans) Arp . Before my Birth (1914) Collage. 4 3/8 x 3 5/8". http://www.abcgallery.com/A/arp/arp4.htm...
Like many of the Surrealists in the 1920s, Arp experimented with collage. He simplified color and form in this collage to six or seven shapes that could be interpreted in many ways. The blue shapes could be a profile of a woman, the black shape part of her hair. The blue could also be musical instruments or other objects on a table. Arp plays with his shapes and forms until he gets the composition balanced and a degree of mystery and possibility of interpretation in the artwork.
