DIY & Art History too...


So when I was in Edinburgh a few months back (how terrible is it that I cant even remember what month?) I was lucky enough to see the Eduardo Paolozzi exhibition, at the Museum of Modern Art, Paolozzi himself was born just outside Edinburgh, contrary to what his name may suggest...

Although he is most famously know for his sculpture works, Paolozzi played a vital role in the beginning days of the British Pop Art movement, with his own Pop Culture collage works, and most notable inspiring Richard Hamilton's collages...

Hamilton's Just What Is It That Makes Today's Homes So Different, So Appealing?


At the Museum's giftshop there was a selection of Paolozzi postcards, so decided to buy the lot, I was unsure as to what I'd do with them, but I knew I wanted them...

And here they are, several months later, with a few frames from the Euro2 store, hanging on my wall, a subtle sulute to favourite time in art history...
