About Head with mustache

“Head with mustache” is a figurative artwork by Jean Arp created in 1926. The piece is executed in oil on panel, displaying Arp’s distinctive approach to abstraction and form.

The artwork features a minimalist, abstract representation of a head complemented by a stylized mustache. The predominantly blue background contrasts with the stark white silhouette of the head, from which the mustache emerges in a cool gray tone. The simplicity in its geometric shapes and smooth lines is emblematic of Arp’s exploration of form and negative space. The organic flow of shapes and the restrained color palette contribute to the overall harmony of the composition, evoking a sense of calm and refinement.
