How cool is this?
Jean Arp
Jean Arp was born on the 16th of September 1886 in Strasbourg, German Empire. His work is both painting and sculpture and is a bit hard to get a read on. His pieces at first glance look like blobs of nothing. Which in the long run makes sense because one of the styles of art he did was Dada or a sort of anti-art.

Magzor Gyalmo

I chose to blog about this originally because it stuck out to me. It's a very attention grabbing piece, clearly. I have a fascination with Asian art since it's so diverse and unique and so detailed. Reading it's description I learned the piece is based on a major Tibetan deity named Magzor Gyalmo or "Queen that repels armies". Her description is eerie as well since she wears human skulls and flayed human skin! I love this piece-made from wood among other materials it is sinister but also culturally fascinating and I'm so glad I found it! Also I feel compelled to mention her mule stands in a sea of blood.
