About this work

Overview

This untitled drawing, created around 1967, is a mixed-media work on paper by George Maciunas. It is part of The Museum of Modern Art's collection.

Subject & Meaning

The drawing depicts a simple building with a slanted roof, labeled 'FLUX MAN TRAP.' Inside, a figure lies down, surrounded by a grid. The image is not a realistic representation, but rather a composition of shapes and text.

Technique & Style

The work combines cut-and-pasted photostat elements with handwritten text and marks, including presstype, correction fluid, and ballpoint pen. The resulting image is abstract and non-representational, characteristic of Maciunas's experimental style.

Context

The drawing is associated with the Fluxus movement, an avant-garde art collective that explored unconventional forms of artistic expression.
