Parent d'oiseau (Bird Parent)

This elegant bronze sculpture by Jean (Hans) Arp features his signature biomorphic forms, with smooth, undulating shapes that evoke organic life without literal representation. The light brown patina enhances the work's warm, natural quality, drawing connections between the abstract form and the living world it subtly references. True to Arp's Dadaist and Surrealist sensibilities, *Parent d'oiseau* invites the viewer to find their own meaning within its fluid, sculptural language.
