Du pays des lutins (From Gnomeland)

1949

Jean Arp's 'Du pays des lutins' (From Gnomeland) is a 1949 bronze sculpture with light brown patina exemplifying the artist's abstract biomorphic style. The work demonstrates Arp's mastery of form and his ability to suggest natural processes through simplified, organic shapes. The patined bronze surface adds temporal depth and materiality to the sculptural form.
