Digital vs. Traditional

Jean Arp
September 16 1886 – June 17 1966     
 Jean Arp (Hans Arp) was German-French sculptor, painter and poet. In 1925, he participated in the first Surrealist exhibition in Paris. He worked on sculptures and painting. His work was characterized by its organic, metamorphic shapes which seemed to repeat the twists and forms of nature and growth.
Description: sculptor Jean Arp did and entered in the surrealist exhibition. It’s a creative work of art that is abstract. He made it look twisted and curved to give it a better more unique look.
Analyze: this sculpture is made out of copper and due to the twisting and turning the sculptor has dark spot in the middle because the light doesn’t hit from that angle.
Interpretation: I personal didn’t like it because it looks like it was a project that lost its figure. Maybe if it was more abstract I’d would have like it.
Judgement: I think it’s a unique piece but yet dull. The way that the artist twisted the figure was creative and I like that.
