Eduardo Paolozzi is best known for his sculptures but he also produced numerous collages and prints which blended his interest in modern machinery with images from popular culture. He was a co-founder of the Independent Group, who are credited with the development of the Pop art movement. Between 1947-49, Paolozzi stayed in Paris and collected a vast quantity of source material for developing his collage ideas. He collected Time magazine covers and introduced a vertical and horizontal cut through the celebrity faces. By ‘fighting the image’ in this way Paolozzi cleverly animated what might have been smug or cosmeticised faces.
