'Modern art isn't easy.' (artist Eduardo Paolozzi)(Interview)
Article Abstract:
The most successful artists begin with a banal subject and create something sublime out of it, according to Eduardo Paolozzi, who is regarded as key figure in British Pop Art. He has always been greatly influenced by popular culture, and has often produced works which give consumer objects personal significance. He is seen as a Scottish artist, but is unwilling to be labelled in this way, emphasising that Scottish art is extremely hard to define.
