Eduardo Paolozzi
Rare British Pop Art lithograph signed, inscribed to famed head of St. Martin's

1980

About the Item

This lithograph is a uniquely signed and inscribed Artist's Proof, bearing a personal dedication in pencil by British Pop Artist Eduardo Paolozzi to sculptor Frank Martin, head of the sculpture department of Saint Martin's School of Art from 1952 to 1979. Frank Martin brought young and forward-thinking sculptors into the department to teach, among them Anthony Caro, Isaac Witkin, Robert Clatworthy, Elizabeth Frink, and Eduardo Paolozzi. They and those round them came to be known as the New Generation of British sculptors. In the 1960s and 1970s the sculpture department at Saint Martin's was, in the words of Tim Scott: "the most famous in the art world". A rare piece - with very special provenance.

  • Large Bus by Allen Jones classic British 1960s pop art in bright primary colors
    By Allen Jones
    Located in New York, NY
    This large Allen Jones lithograph is printed exuberantly in primary colors. A swath of bright red brushstrokes represents the side of a bus. In the upper left, small windows reveal the passengers: a woman’s face is cut off above her vampy red lips, and a blue-haired man’s face is hidden. Royal blue fills the upper right corner of the composition, giving the impression of looking up at a passing bus against the cloudless sky. One can imagine Jones was thinking of the iconic red double decker bus the AEC Routemaster, first introduced in London in 1954. In the 1960s buses were a living symbol of familiar and new technology coexisting: as David Bucken put it, “In and around London a midpoint change on a journey might involve alighting from an RT bus, of which production had started just prior to World War II, and getting on one of the sexy new Routemasters.” In the artist’s words: “The whole problem as a figurative artist was that it was going against the main march of modernism, which was towards abstraction. But here was a way of making the subject you were painting the same as the object you were painting on. By making the canvas a rhomboid, and putting little wheels on it, you have a schematic version of a vehicle, in this case a London bus.” Jones plays with the space between abstraction and figuration: windowed passengers, elaborated with just a few lines and placed adjacent to a weighty red ground of brushstrokes, easily convey the form of a bus, yet the print also conveys Jones’ visceral, painterly delight in color play.
