Jean Arp Quotes

I allow myself to be guided by the work which is in the process of being born, I have confidence in it Arp refers to 'automatic painting'. I do not think about it. The forms arrive pleasant, or strange, hostile, inexplicable, mute, or drowsy. They are born from themselves. It seems to me as if all I do is move my hands.
