2004 - Spotlight on Eduardo Paolozzi

Spotlight on Eduardo Paolozzi

The highly inventive art of Eduardo Paolozzi is detailed and rich in content. An avid collector of ephemera, Paolozzi draws on sources as diverse as film, music, literature, engineering and space travel in his work. His early contact with Surrealism in Paris during the late 1940s was a strong influence. Later in the 1960s, his screenprints broke new ground in graphic art, playing a major role in the development of Pop Art in Britain. The National Touring Exhibition from the Hayward Gallery, Spotlight on Eduardo Paolozzi, focused on six sculptures and several prints and drawings by the artist, all from the Arts Council Collection.
