Untitled Jan 22, 71 [study for "tattoo" book] 1971

"Untitled Jan 22, 71 [study for "tattoo" book]" is a study for a book of artwork by James McCracken Jr. The artwork is a study of simple stick figures drawn in black ink on white paper. The figures depict a variety of scenes including people riding animals, people standing and dancing, and a figure holding what appears to be a spear. McCracken Jr. was known for his minimalist and conceptual artwork. The simple forms of the figures and the repetitive nature of the drawing reflect this style. The date, "Jan 22, 71" written at the top of the study, suggests that it was created as a part of a larger project, likely the "tattoo" book. The image has the visual characteristics of an artwork associated with Minimalism, Conceptual art and Drawings.
