Eduardo Paolozzi: Writings and Interviews"For Paolozzi, a surrealist before surrealism was readmitted to the modernist canon, much of the avant garde and its culturally conservative determinant art history are among bourgeois society's last taboos. His accusation is that society and art have failed to confront major problems such as waste and pollution which threaten the future of the planet. Paolozzi's critical writings are also invested with a deep humanism, and have a positive message for society including advice to the young artist at the start of the new millennium. Also published here for the first time are sequences from his poetry and novels which show the influence of surrealism and Raymond Roussel. As Hans Arp's and Kurt Schwitters's writings are to the first half of the twentieth century, so Paolozzi's are to the second. They have a distinct and unmistakable voice and show Paolozzi working in the tradition of the painter-poets as one of the last century's great modernist artists."--BOOK JACKET. |
