Born in Leith, Edinburgh, to Italian parents, Paolozzi studied at Edinburgh College of Art and later at the Slade School of Fine Art in London. Throughout his career he combined imagery drawn from science, engineering, advertising, popular culture and technology, creating works that reflected the rapidly changing world of the post-war era.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProduced in 1971 to accompany Paolozzi's exhibition at the Tate Gallery, this original offset lithograph captures the bold graphic qualities for which the artist became renowned. Characterised by layered imagery, strong typography and a fascination with the relationship between art, industry and mass communication, Paolozzi's work remains remarkably contemporary more than fifty years later.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePaolozzi was a founding member of the Independent Group, the influential circle of artists, architects and critics whose ideas laid the foundations for British Pop Art.
