Untitled is a 1967 by Jean Tinguely, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch looks like a messy but careful drawing of a machine with lots of gears, wheels, and wires. The lines are loose and wobbly, like someone scribbled fast but still showed the parts clearly. Numbers and notes are scattered around—things like "1/2 RPM" and "1450"—as if the artist was figuring out how it works. The date "Tinguely '67" is scrawled in the corner, showing this was made in 1967. The drawing feels like a mix of a blueprint and doodle, full of energy but not perfect. If you like this kind of playful engineering art, check out Jean Tinguely.
