Artist
Eduardo Paolozzi
1924–2005 · Scottish, of Italian heritage
Eduardo Paolozzi began making collages from American magazines in the 1940s and presented them in his 1952 Bunk lecture, a key moment in the formation of British Pop. His sculpture combined machine parts, cast metal and fragmented bodies, while later public commissions expanded his visual language into mosaic and architecture.
