2. March 7,1924 -- April 22, 2005. Scottish-born Italian sculptor, collagist, printmaker and film-maker. 3. One of the founders of the 1950s British Pop Art movement. British Pop Art emerged in the mid 1950s. Pop Art focused on everyday objects rendered through an adoption of
commercial art techniques. Images and ideas were based upon “popular culture” such as comic books, movies, advertisements and especially television.
Eduardo used images of contemporary consumer items to create collage prints that could be mass-produced and sold at affordable prices. He thought of pop art as a way to bring art to the people, as well as a way to celebrate everyday life through art. These collages are mainly made from magazines given to Paolozzi by American ex-servicemen.
