"Words without Borders: Arp's Poetrys" - Eric Robertson, Professor of Modern French Literary and Visual Culture at Royal Holloway, University of London

Presentation five of 'The Nature of Arp' Symposium. This symposium provides a long-overdue look at the achievements of Jean (Hans) Arp (1886-1966), one of the most important and multifaceted artists of the modern era. As a founder of the international Dada movement during World War I, Arp pioneered the use of chance, spontaneity, and collaboration as artistic processes and developed a vocabulary of curving, organic forms that would inspire generations of artists.
