1960
ink
paperboard
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1960 ink by Jean Tinguely, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing looks like a wild machine made of scribbles and lines. There’s a big balloon shape at the top, lots of pipes, gears, and strange tools. Some parts are labeled with letters and numbers, like "Pneustat" and "Piano à Roostér & S. Vitesses." The whole thing feels like a sketch for something that doesn’t exist yet—maybe a joke or a dream. The artist wrote notes in the corners, like *"pour l’exposition à la galerie Daniel Cordier."* That means it was made for a show. The lines are quick and messy, almost like a doodle. Look up Jean Tinguely next—he made these kinds of odd, playful drawings.
Jean Tinguely was a Swiss sculptor best known for his kinetic art sculptural machines that extended the Dada tradition into the later part of the 20th century.
