Eduardo Paolozzi is an artist. 3 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

This Glaswegian ran a junk shop in London’s East End and turned scrap metal into art. Paolozzi’s collages, like *Target Drawing* (1947), pasted bits of ads and comics into wild, colorful machines that looked like tomorrow’s trash. He called it Pop Art before the name stuck, proving everyday junk could be as serious as paint. See his *Barkcloth* (1954–57) for fabrics that stitched robot patterns into home décor—wearable proof that modern life wasn’t boring, just misunderstood.
