This publication offers an extensive overview of the work and life of Jean Tinguely (1925-1991), the Swiss artist who was instrumental in the development of kinetic art. While Tinguely's mechanical metal sculptures may seem witty and playful, their charming absurdity has a dark side : he contrasts play, pleasure and irony with aggression, self-destruction and a fear of death in an engaging and compelling oeuvre.
