Jean Arp / Hans Arp (September 16, 1886 – June 7, 1966) was a German-French painter, poet and abstract artist in other media such as torn and pasted paper.
When Arp spoke in German he referred to himself as “Hans”, and when he spoke in French he referred to himself as “Jean”. Many people believe that he was born Hans and later changed his name to Jean, but this is not the case.
