Jean Tinguely Roto Zaza No. 1 screen print; abstract mechanical forms in red, black, and sketch-like lines suggesting motion.

// Jean Tinguely’s Roto Zaza No. 1 (1975) is a screen print that embodies his fascination with kinetic art and mechanical forms. The composition is a dynamic, chaotic assembly of abstract shapes, mechanical components, and lines that suggest movement and energy. Vivid colors, including bold reds and blacks, intertwine with sketch-like marks, evoking a machine-like structure that appears in constant motion. The overlapping forms and energetic lines reflect Tinguely's playful yet industrial aesthetic, encouraging viewers to imagine a machine that exists purely in the imagination, where functionality merges with artistic expression.

What is Systems Art?

Systems Art refers to a group of artists who, during the late 1960s and early 1970s, used the frameworks of conceptualism and minimalism to create art that was responsive to its environment. Rejecting traditional art themes, they embraced aesthetic systems and experimented with diverse media. Systems Art often connected with contemporary political movements of the time, emphasizing the interrelationship between the artwork, its context, and the broader social and political environment.
