Professor Sir Eduardo Luigi Paolozzi CBE FRA (1924-2005), was a Scottish sculptor and artist. Largely a surrealist, Paolozzi came to public attention in the 1960s by producing a range of striking screenprints - the medium which he used for the design of these plates. His works include the mosaic patterned walls of the Tottenham Court Road tube station and the 'Piscator' sculpture outside Euston Station.
