Was Jean Arp male or female?

What material did Jean Arp use for his small gold sculptures?

• Maybe you can settle two people's point of view about this. The other day my friend and I visited a Jean Arp sculpture exhibit. I thought the sculptures looked like metal. She said they were wood. Do you know?

• Answer:

  Maybe both - "Arp visited the USA in 1949 and 1950, and completed a monumental wood and metal relief for Harvard University, and a mural relief for the UNESCO Building in Paris in 1958." http://www.artchive.com/artchive/A/arp.html Dada was a protest by a group of European artists against World War I, bourgeois society, and the conservativism of traditional thought. Its followers used absurdities and non sequiturs to create artworks and performances which defied any intellectual analysis. They also included random "found" objects in sculptures and installations. The founders included the French artist Jean Arp and the writers Hugo Ball and Tristan Tzara. Francis Picabia and Marcel Duchamp were also key contributors. The Dada movement evolved into Surrealism in the 1920's. http://www.artcyclopedia.com/history/dada.html Marble ? http://allanmccollum.net/amcimages/arp.html
