Jean arp in his collage embraced as a way of relinquishing control of his art.

The correct answer is Dadaism

Jean Arp, also known as Hans Arp, was a naturalized French artist who passed through many art movements, especially the Dadaism when he created many collages using colored paper. He wasn’t fulfilled with his drawing and, along with other Dadaist artists, saw in the collages a liberating way of creation that would escape from the rational thought.

Explanation:

Born in Germany while Alsace was part of it, Jean (Hans) Arp (1886-1966) was a complete artist, who was involved with many art movements. In 1916, he was co-founder of the Dadaism movement. The experiential character of that art movement made him decide to foster the collage, which was used by the other avant-guard movement too, as an alternative of the rational use of drawing. Dadaism is directly connected to the movements we can classify as contemporary art.  

He used to cut square-shaped pieces of colored paper, sometimes using a paper cutter, and disposed them in an aleatory way. The reason was to get rid of the logic and use other possibilities for his compositions. The participation in that movement was the base of his Surrealist period when he added the oniric elements of that movement.

In 1930s he joins abstractionism, inspiranted by the natural forms, and explored organic expressive possibilities. Although he was constantly in touch with the Constructivist Russian Artist El Lesistky, writing an article about his friend, and also collaborated with the Neoplasticist Movement, participanting in some Van Doesburg artworks.

To mention other Jean Arp’s friends, we can mention the Dadaist Hans Richter and the Surrealist Marx Ernst.
