About this work

This image is a hand-drawn chart with six toilet designs labeled by name. Each toilet has notes about its flushing, seat, and odd features—like one that plays chess or another with a bird organ. The lines are rough, and some sections have doodles or extra symbols. The text is small and packed tightly in columns. One toilet (number 4) has a hinge on top and two doors that swing open together. The artist, George Maciunas, included quirky details like a toilet that flushes suds or one with a mirror puzzle. Look up George Maciunas to see more of his unconventional art.
