About
Eduardo Paolozzi was a founding member of London’s Independent Group that created some of the earliest works of pop art. As early as 1945, Paolozzi began to make collages based on the fantasy life of American consumer culture seen through the pages of imported glossy magazines. He was deeply influenced by the work of Kurt Schwitters, whose work hangs to the left. In a 1996 interview, Paolozzi said, ’So the idea of collage did not come to me at art school, but at the sight of Schwitters’ collages, which I even saw in the original as far as possible’.
