Status
Not on viewEduardo Paolozzi, a member of the Independent Group, was known for his Pop aesthetic that juxtaposed found images from science fiction and American pulp magazines. Moonstrips Empire News, a print series with no predetermined order, encourages viewers to arrange and rearrange the pages as active editors of the suite. General Dynamic F.U.N., the second volume, combines geometric abstraction, iconic emblems and computerized diagrams into a dizzying array of visual information reminiscent of the mass media.
