However, this kind of formal education can't affect him. So, he went to Wikis, Switzerland to meditate alone. There he met Klee (1909). 19 12 visited Kandinsky in Munich and participated in the famous exhibition Young Knight. The following year, he went to Berlin and attended the first autumn salon with the main painters of expressionism. Prior to this, Walden, the organizer of the salon, had published a strange sketch of Apu in his The Knockout magazine-characters drawn with changeable lines. 1944, Apu returned to Paris and met Marcos, Jacob, Franco franco modigliani, Apollinaire and Delaunay. But when the war broke out, he returned to Switzerland. 1915438+01In 2005, the original abstract works, usually linear oil paintings, were exhibited in Tana Gallery in Zurich. Soon he left this rule and preferred some "accidental, original, unreasonable, incomplete, rediscovered and broken" articles. In fact, this has already announced the birth of Dadaism. 19 16 At the beginning of this year, he and Zara, Yang Ke, Barr and holsen Baker established this art movement in Fuxintai Wine Industry in Zurich, and they have always been one of the protagonists in cooperation with the publications they promoted. 19 16 years, he made an abstract woodcut illustration for holsen Baker's book "Magic Prayer of Mattress" and named it "Research on Symmetry". 19 17, he created various chrome-plated reliefs, and in the following year he created pointy woodcuts (illustrations for Zara's film Calendar of Abstract Thinking). During this period, he met Sophie Daobe, who later married him, and was more strongly influenced by her art. They cut straight lines with a paper cutter and made a large paste painting (19 18). On the road to fame of 1920, he cooperated with bagger and max ernst in some new Dadaism movements in Cologne. 1923, he met Schwaetzer in hanover, and cooperated with maerz magazine, which published many of his works, including the continuation of the lithograph "Seven Parts of Albard". Together with Al Lisicki, he published "On Art", which is the representative work of contemporary schools. 6666.666666661The following year, he and his wife Sophie Dobby settled in Merton, near Paris, and became a member of "surrealism" (1926 to 1930). At the same time, with the cooperation of Sophie Dobby and Van Doesburg, it was the most important modern building that was later destroyed. Apu is also a member of the "Square School" and participated in the international art exhibition named after it in April 1930. The following year, he became a member of the "abstract-creative school". It was when sewing, shredded paper painting and the original semicircle carving became popular that the dexterous and clear style that made Apu famous gradually became clear. Sometimes he uses French. He is equally proficient in both languages. 1940 During their escape, Apu and Sophie went to Grasse, but they did not stop their creative activities in poetry and plastic arts. During a secret trip to Switzerland, his wife died unexpectedly (1943+ 10). After the liberation of the summit, they held a good meeting in new york. 1948, he published the first monograph on his life, My Road. 1949 and 1950, Apu went to America and had a good time there. 1946, he published his collection of French poems "The Center" in Paris. 66666666666 Germany published two of his poems in German: Dreams and Black Stars published by Wiesbaden and Heart of Stone published by Frankfurt. In the same year, Apu also completed his giant bronze sculpture Cloud Shepherd for Caracas University Town. Apu's social evaluation is extremely sensitive, but what he pursues is the clarity of lines and the primitive innocence of shapes. He willingly compared art to the fruit that should be produced by people, just as other fruits are produced by trees. Therefore, the softness of a plant-if you can say so-is naturally crystallized in most of its works, and there is no need to imitate it, while Apu strives to create like walking every day. Sculpture is like daily breathing, and its ideal is to make the organic form perfect, natural and concise. There is no doubt about the achievement. This combination of nature and preference for perfect Greek style is the reason why his works achieve harmony, which is unparalleled in this century. Between Dadaism, surreal subjectivity and the extremes of abstract art, Apu created his own art. And you can only name it after yourself. Whether he uses poems, stickers, reliefs, sculptures or scraps of paper, Apu introduces simple, charming, insinuating, calm and always humorous factors into modern life. It can be said that his work is a new Arcadian wonderland that inspires him. In a crazy world full of machinery, he creates pleasant environmental changes and lets people have a rest.
