Quotes
- “Structures of lines, surfaces, forms, colours. They try to approach the eternal, the inexpressible above men. They are a denial of human egotism. They are the hatred of human immodesty, the hatred of images, of paintings.. Wisdom [is] the feeling for the coming reality, the mystical, the definite indefinite, the greatest definite.”
- “We [Hans Arp and Sophie Taeuber ] painted embroidered and made collages. All these works were drawn from the simplest forms and were probably the first examples of concrete art. These works are realities pure and independent with no meaning or cerebral intention. We rejected all mimesis and description, giving free reign to the elementary and spontaneous.”
- “the streams buck like rams in a tentwhips crack and from the hills come the crookedly combedshadows of the shepherds.black eggs and fools' bells fall from the trees.thunder drums and kettledrums beat upon the ears of the donkeys.wings brush against flowers.fountains spring up in the eyes of the wild boar.”
- “Dadaism has launched an attack on the fine arts. It has declared art to be a magic opening of the bowels, administered an enema to the Venus of Milo, and finally enabled 'Laocoon and Sons' to ease themselves after a thousand-year struggle with the rattlesnake. Dadaism has reduced positive and negative to utter nonsense. It has been destructive in order to achieve indifference.”
- “In recent times, Surrealist painters have used descriptive illusionistic academic methods.”
- “Concretion signifies the material process of condensation, hardening, coagulating, thickening, growing together. Concretion designates the solidification of a mass. Concretion designates curdling, the curdling of the earth and the heavenly bodies. Concretion designates solidification, the mass of the stone, the plant, the animal, the man. Concretion is something that has grown. I want my work to find it.”

Exposition · Jean (Hans) Arp — 1998 · Galerie Lucie Weill & Seligmann, Paris.
galerielws.com →De janvier à avril 1998, la Galerie Lucie Weill & Seligmann consacre une exposition à Jean Arp (Hans Arp), figure majeure des avant-gardes et cofondateur du mouvement Dada. Dans le prolongement des liens historiques entre la galerie et l’artiste, plusieurs tapis de haute laine réalisés d’après ses cartons -souvent édités par Marie Cuttoli- occupent une place centrale, soulignant les circulations entre sculpture, dessin et arts textiles. Par ce retour à une figure fondatrice de l’art moderne, la galerie réaffirme son ancrage dans le champ des avant-gardes historiques, après une programmation tournée vers la création contemporaine au milieu des années 1990. Cette exposition s’impose ainsi comme un moment clé, consolidant son rôle de référence pour l’œuvre de Arp à Paris.
