Untitled is a 1989 graphite by Panamarenko, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing looks like a rough sketch of a futuristic vehicle or machine. Sharp lines form a boxy shape with curved edges, and inside are circles, arrows, and scribbled notes. The colors are mostly pencil gray with some orange and green markings. The arrows and labels seem to show how parts might move or connect, like a blueprint but messy. It’s not a finished design—just ideas on paper. If you like this sketchy, inventive style, check out The Museum of Modern Art for more experimental art.
Henri Van Herwegen, known by the pseudonym Panamarenko, was a prominent assemblagist Belgian sculptor. Famous for his work with aeroplanes as theme; none of which are able nor constructed to actually leave the ground.
