Eduardo Paolozzi
Artist
The artist Sir Eduardo Paolozzi was a British sculptor, collagist, printmaker, filmmaker and writer. Born of Italian parents, he attended Edinburgh College of Art and trained at the Slade School of Fine Art. He worked in printmaking and experimented with collage, combining casts of random everyday objects that interested him to make sculpture. He made various sculptures inspired by Surrealism, and also produced a number of collages, which blend the incongruous juxtapositions of Surrealism with his interest in images of modern machinery and the human form, representing it as brutalised and anguished.
