Jean Arp Quotes
Sculpture should walk on the tips of its toes, unostentatious, unpretentious, and light as the spoor of an animal in snow. Art should melt into and even merge with nature itself. This is obviously contrary to painting and sculpture based on nature. By so doing, art will rid itself more and more of self-centredness, virtuosity and absurdity.Jean Arp

Born of the sun, they travelled a short while toward the sun And left the vivid air signed with their honour.
