“The Sun Recircled,” created by Jean Arp in 1966 using the woodcut medium, is a surrealist, abstract artwork measuring 37 x 47 cm. This piece belongs to the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, Israel.
The artwork features a harmonious blend of organic shapes that seem to float within a circular boundary. The color palette is subdued, utilizing muted tones of beige, blue, white, and black. These forms possess a fluid, almost amoebic quality that is characteristic of Jean Arp’s surrealistic approach. The juxtaposition of light and dark elements within the composition evokes a sense of balance and motion, inviting viewers to navigate through the abstract interplay of shapes and colors.
