While he might not be as famous as his contemporaries like Andy Warhol or Pablo Picasso, Jean Tinguely was one of the most fascinating innovators in modern art. This Swiss artist took the cold and serious world of industrial machinery and turned it completely on its head. In his hands, gears, motors, and scrap metal became beautifully chaotic and unpredictable. He gave these machines a soul, a sense of humour, creating some of the most interesting artworks of the 20th century.
