  Eduardo Paolozzi, 1924-2005 Art in America - Find Articles
Art in America, June-July, 2005 by Faye Hirsch
At first labeled a Surrealist, then one of the fathers of Pop art, Paolozzi began in the late 1940s to incorporate advertising imagery from American consumer magazines into his collages.
His fascination with Dubuffet and Art Brut can be seen in the aggressive surfaces of a series of large, primitivist heads.

 Quotation about Art
...Art itself may be defined as a single minded attempt to render the highest kind of justice to the visible universe, by bringing to light the truth, manifold and one, underlying its every aspect.
My art is representational by choice....if the art of painting is to survive, it must describe and express people, their lives and times.
Art for me...is a negation of society, an affirmation of the individual, outside of all the rules and all the demands of society.

Art Gillham, "The Whispering Pianist", is usually credited with making the first electrical recording which was commercially released: February 25, 1925 master 140125, "You May Be Lonesome", Columbia 328-D. (High Fidelity Magazine, January, 1977, p 95; also see Brian Rust, The Columbia Masters Discography 1924-1934).
Art was interviewed in 1961, a few weeks before his death on June 6, 1961, and stated Columbia paid him a bonus of $1000.00 for experimenting with the electrical recording process because of his experience in using microphones on radio broadcasts.
He began appearing on radio in 1923 and was a performer of the November 4, 1924 election night broadcast from New York's WEAF which was carried on an 18 station "hookup".

 ART OF THE 80'S: Mesches
Art in Public Places, I represents a characteristic technique for Arnold Mesches—juxtaposing an image from art history with an image of contemporary or historical reality.
Through combining the two images, one from history, one from art history, Mesches comments on the cyclical nature of human events and the horrors and destruction of war in any age.
Art tells the deepest truth about reality, not its photographic reproduction....the sense of blind determination—fatalism—that pervaded Mesches' pictures is a sign of instinctive death wish...Mesches confronts us with well bred visions of death, that come straight at us."

In 1961 his "Big Antifacist Collective Painting", a collective work criticising the war in Algeria, was confiscated by the Italian authorities and spent the next 25 years gathering dust in a Milanese cellar.

 Malaspina Great Books - Group of Seven (1920-1932)
Long before the Group of Seven was formed Carl Ahrens (1862-1936), a Canadian impressionist artist had argued for a Canadian art free from "alien influences." He campaigned for a group of pioneers who would ignore foreign trends and set a national standard independent of the currents of Post-Impressionism and Futurism.
This truly Canadian art movement was started, not by professional painters, but by a loose association of acquaintances who travelled north from Toronto on their vacations to paint and relax.
In 1924 one of the original founding members Frank Johnston resigned from the Group.

 Pablo Picasso et le surréalisme 1924-39 | Art Knowledge News   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
Even though Picasso produced work in a style similar to the Surrealists during this period, he remained separate from the movement, creating improvisatory images and techniques that were ambiguous and suggestive rather than figurative.
Picasso appreciated the contemporary developments in Surrealist painting, particularly the work of André Masson and Joan Miró, reflected in the curved, organic shapes and saturated hues of Mandolin and Guitar (1924).
The rolling lines, decorative patterns and broad chromatic elements contained in the work at this time anticipate the emergence of a fully evolved sensual, biomorphic style in his art, celebrating the arrival of his new muse (and mistress) Marie-Thérèse Walter.
