[no title] 1967

Curator: This intriguing print is by Sir Eduardo Paolozzi, held in the Tate collection. Though untitled, its bold imagery is immediately striking. What's your take on it? Editor: Well, the first thing that hits me is this vortex—it’s almost hypnotic, a dizzying spiral! And then, these peculiar figures above feel almost robotic. Curator: Yes! Those figures, repeated in vertical stacks, evoke the serial nature of mass production. Paolozzi often incorporated machine-like forms to reflect on technology's impact. The vortex—perhaps a symbol of infinite possibility or, conversely, an inescapable pull? Editor: Or maybe the pull is towards sleep. That little eye in the center looks like it's trying to go to sleep. Curator: It's remarkable how Paolozzi merges the mechanical with the psychological. Editor: Absolutely. It’s like looking into a dream, one where machines dance with our anxieties.
