Jean Arp or Hans Arp (16 September 1886 – 7 June 1966) was a German-French sculptor, 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".
The work Enak’s Tears, also known as Terrestrial Forms, is a wood relief sculpture composed of two cut pieces of wood laid on top of each other.
