"Untitled ["tattoo" book]" is a 1971 work by American artist James McCracken Jr., known for his minimalist and conceptual art. The work consists of a series of drawings, each depicting a simple, skeletal-like form against a blank background. The drawings are reminiscent of anatomical diagrams, emphasizing form and structure over representational detail. McCracken's minimalist approach invites viewers to contemplate the essence of form and the power of visual simplicity.
