Eduardo Paolozzi (1924 – 2005) was one of the most inventive and prolific of the British artists who came to prominence after the Second World War. Collage was central to his methods, both as printmaker and sculpture. Indeed, he once stated that ‘all human experience is one big collage', which was particularly true for his own life.

This exhibition draws on the extensive selection of Paolozzi works in Pallant House Gallery's Collection and includes drawings, prints and sculpture from throughout his career.

Glossary

  • Collage

    The two-dimensional form of assemblage made by affixing paper, card, photographs, fabric and other objects to a flat surface. It is often combined with painting and drawing techniques. This technique was first introduced by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque in 1912 during their phase of synthetic cubism.

  • Sculpture

    A three-dimensional work of art. Such works may be carved, modelled, constructed, or cast. Sculptures can also be described as assemblage, in the round, relief, and made in a huge variety of media. Contemporary practice also includes live elements, as in Gilbert & George 'Living Sculpture' as well as broadcast work, radio or sound sculpture.
