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 Nouveau Realism?

Nouveau Réalisme is an artistic movement founded in 1960 by art critic Pierre Restany and painter Yves Klein during a collective exhibition at a gallery in Milan. Restany wrote the original manifesto in April 1960, proclaiming the movement. In October of that year, nine artists, including Martial Raysse, Yves Klein, Daniel Spoerri, Jean Tinguely, Arman, Pierre Restany, and three Ultra-Lettrists—Jacques de la Villeglé, François Dufrêne, and Raymond Hains—signed the declaration. In 1961, the movement expanded to include Mimmo Rotella, Niki de Saint Phalle, Gérard Deschamps, and César. The movement emphasized a return to reality in art, often incorporating everyday objects and exploring the boundaries between art and life.
