encyclopedia of stone sculpture

Quoted text begins.Well, not much, really. You probably know this work
already, but Jean
Arp has been a great inspiration to me. He also
exemplifies the
"before" aspect of that shift in focus that Norman and
others have been
discussing.

End of quote.

Thanks Bill, its good just to recollect what Arp I''ve
seen. I always have liked "Head with Annoying Objects".
Its odd but I always have had an unpleasant feeling from
his cone-like protrusions that end in sharp points. I
suppose his vertical pieces are lithe and figural and I
should inspect them further, but I found them a little
attenuated and then perhaps deformed. I guess
discomfiture was a surrealist thing and something I would
never seek out. One of the things that I have hoped the
Internet could do would be to allow me to see a whole
ouvre but things are so broken up that I'm guessing a girl
might break a few nails scratching to access any more than
several Arp images.
