MOONSTRIPS
Eduardo Paolozzi and the
printed collage 1965-72
Eduardo Paolozzi’s use of found images and words cut from popular magazines and scientific journals played a formative role in the development of British art in the 1950s and 60s. He adapted the technique of collage to printed media in spectacular sets - often seen as highlights of Pop Art - such as Moonstrips Empire News (1967), General Dynamic F.U.N. (1970), Cloud Atomic Laboratory (1971) and Bunk! (1972). With the writer J. G. Ballard, his collaborator on the innovative Ambit magazine, Paolozzi formulated a dazzling visual and verbal accompaniment to the space-age.Eduardo Paolozzi’s use of found images and words cut from popular magazines and scientific journals played a formative role in the development of British art in the 1950s and 60s.
