Eduardo Paolozzi – scrapbook spread

‘Eduardo Paolozzi started collecting images from popular American publications and pasting them into scrapbooks when he was a child and continued to do so as an adult. During 1946 and 1947, his last year at the Slade School of Art, he began using such images in a series of collages which, according to Paolozzi, were heavily indebted to Pablo Picasso’s (1881-1973) synthetic Cubism of c.1912-18′ – from Tate website https://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/paolozzi-dr-pepper-t06935
