  Jean Arp
Jean Arp (also called Hans Arp) was born in Alsace and studied at the Strasbourg School of Arts and Crafts, at Weimar (1905-7) and the Academie Julian, Paris (1908).
At a time when he began to turn towards full 3-D sculptures, Arp insisted that his sculpture was 'concrete' rather than 'abstract', since it occupied space, and that art was a natural generation of form: 'a fruit that grows in man', as he put it.

 Review: Jean Arp, Fundacio Joan Miro, Barcelona | Arts critics | Guardian Unlimited Arts
Coming across Arp in some popular survey book of last century's modern art (usually one of his flatly painted, fret-sawed and screwed-together wooden reliefs, which always look amiable on the page, but also clunky and somehow ephemeral) we are inclined to flip the page.
Arp retired briefly to a monastery, read Christian mystics and Tibetan philosophy, and went on being an artist, though for a long time one in despair.
Arp was a kind of stateless artist, just as he was a stateless man. He was, in his way, a consummate 20th-century European figure.

 MoMA.org | The Collection | Jean (Hans) Arp. Collage with Squares Arranged According to the Laws of Chance. (1916-17)
Arp's serenely beautiful collage is nevertheless a characteristic Dada work, made in Zurich, the first Dada center, in 1916–1917.
As with Arp's contemporaneous drawings, "chance" was a liberating idea, a method of beginning a work of art that evaded traditional composition, but not an avoidance of composition itself.
Hans Richter, Arp's colleague, claims that the "law of chance" was discovered when Arp tore up a failed drawing and was struck by the pattern it made on the floor.
