Jean Arp was a multi-faceted artist of German and French dissent. His wide range of mediums include that of sculpture, painting, various forms of unconventional medium, and even some poetry. Jean Arp was born during the time of the war between the Prussians (Germany) and the Franks (France) oddly enough. He was born in the Alsace-Lorraine are of Germany, a greatly disputed area. Arp studied at the Strasbourg School of Arts and Crafts for two years. His art has been displayed at the second Blaue Reiter exhibition in the years 1912 and 1913. Soon after, works of his in wood and strings nailed onto a canvas were displayed and was also part of the primer Surrealist Exhibition in the city of Paris.
