About The Sun Recircled

“The Sun Recircled” is a woodcut created by Jean Arp in 1966, emblematic of the Surrealism art movement. The artwork measures 37 x 47 cm and is categorized under the abstract genre. Currently, it is housed in the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, Israel.

The artwork features an arrangement of organic, amoeba-like shapes set against a muted backdrop. Dominating the composition is a series of curvilinear forms in contrasting colors—cream, white, black, and beige—nestled within a larger circular shape, all encased in a pale blue-gray background. The interplay of the shapes and colors evokes a sense of balanced fluidity and abstract coherence that is characteristic of Arp’s surrealistic expressions.
