About the Item
This whimsical screenprint by Eduardo Paolozzi pictures giant inkwells being carried on old style train cars. The composition looks like a printed image blown up to reveal the halftone dots and rough edges of lines.
Scottish artist of Italian descent Eduardo Paolozzi studied in London and then worked in Paris where he mingled with the original Surrealists: artists like Alberto Giacometti, Jean Arp, Constantin Brâncuși, Georges Braque and Fernand Léger. He was one of the founders of the British Independent Group in 1952, the precursor to the Pop Art movement.
Professor Michael Fourman at The University of Edinburgh, wrote: “Paolozzi was intrigued by genius and creativity. His heroes, Leonardo, Einstein, Wittgenstein, Freud, and Turing sought to explore the inner workings of the mind, the body and the world.” Einstein was a sort of muse to Paolozzi, serving as the subject of numerous portraits, as well as works such as this one which were inspired by his writings.
Paolozzi’s work and its reach were formidable: it ranges from screenprints and portfolios, to mosaic murals in the London subway, to album art for Paul McCartney, to a range of public sculptures and even commercial collaborations with high-end German porcelain studio Rosenthal.

Eduardo Paolozzi
Eduardo Paolozzi (1924 – 2005) was a prolific and inventive Scottish artist most known for his marriage of Surrealism's early principles with brave new elements of popular culture, modern machinery and technology. He was raised in the shadows of World War II in a family deeply affected by the divisive nature of a country involved in conflict, which birthed his lifelong exploration into the many ways humans are influenced by external, uncontrollable forces. This exploration would come to inform a vast and various body of work that vacillated between the darker and lighter consequences of society's advancements and its so-called progress. His collages reflect the way contemporary culture and mass media influenced individual identity. Some of these, with their appropriation of American advertising's look and feel would inspire the future Pop art movement.
