Il participe aux activités des surréalistes et fréquente les peintres abstraits de Cercle et Carré. In 1926 he received a major commission to redesign the interior of the Aubette, a historic dance hall, a project he completed with Tauber-Arp and Theo van Doesburg and which, when reopened in 2006, was hailed by a reviewer in as the "Sistine Chapel of abstract art".

At the dawn of the 1920s, he became a published writer in a variety of magazines, including Merz, Mécano, De Stijl, and La Révolution Surréaliste. Animated through the seemingly random placement of the assembled elements, but in fact the product of a careful series of aesthetic choices, Configuration with Two Dangerous Points reveals Arp's strong focus on achieving a perfect structural balance without a loss of movement.

À partir de 1930, la sculpture en ronde-bosse prend une place importante dans son œuvre.

À Strasbourg, entre 1926 et 1928, il participe à la transformation de l'Aubette, en collaboration avec sa femme et avec l'artiste néerlandais Theo van Doesburg.

Sophie meurt tragiquement asphyxiée, en 1943, lors d'un voyage clandestin à Zurich, où le couple s'est réfugié à la suite de l'invasion de la France libre par l'Allemagne.

De très nombreuses expositions personnelles lui sont consacrées après-guerre, dès 1944 à la galerie Peggy Guggenheim à New York, puis à la Galerie Maeght, la Galerie Denise René Paris, et Sydney Janis, en 1950.

Il participe ainsi à des expositions, dont celle du Blaue Reiter, en 1912. At this time, Arp began to enjoy significant commercial success. Il adhère quelque temps au club artistique Das jüngste Elsaß qui veut promouvoir une version rénovée de la culture alsacienne et germanique. This keeps the viewer curious, and provides a consistent framework for satisfying the eye.

One of the first artists to make randomness and chance part of the work, Arp saw chance as a collaborator in his process.

Composed of four white and two black elements, this work exhibits an overt sense of play. Arp continued his work in other mediums, however, including torn paper pieces (Papiers dechirés), and published his poems even more frequently in French Surrealist journals such as Minotaure and Le Surréalisme au Service de la Revolution.

Inspired by the general mood of chaos, randomness and nonsense, he began making "chance collages" --scraps of paper dropped at random onto a larger sheet and pasted where they fell.

The two continued to collaborate until her early and tragic death.

In 1925 Arp was among the co-founders of another major movement: Surrealism. By the mid-1950s, his fame was international. He was a pioneer in randomizing the results of art. Il réalise des reliefs en bois peints, broderies et papiers collés.

Hans (Jean) Arp (16 de septiembre de 1887-7 de junio de 1966) fue un escultor, poeta y pintor francoalemán.

Cofondateur du mouvement dada à Zurich en 1916, il fut ensuite proche du surréalisme. Its abstract, but organic, bulging forms suggest figures (a shepherd with his crook, one of the animals in his flock, or both) animated by a mysterious interior life. This sculpture, a bronze cast of an earlier plaster form, resembles a configuration of heavy objects: boulders, sacks, or figures on a bed.

Entonces se quitó toda la ropa y marchó con los papeles en la mano.
