prints merge popular culture and modern
abstraction. Paolozzi was a forerunner to Pop
Art and drew inspiration from popular sources
in media, fine art, and modern abstraction of
his day. The colorful portfolio General Dynamic
F.U.N. (1980) includes an eclectic mix of imagery
and abstract compositions appropriated from
television and print advertisements. Similar to
Andy Warhol’s screenprints that depict famous
personalities and consumer products, the
purposeful casualness of the iconic, Western
representation of Jesus in the work Jesus colour
by numbers from General Dynamic F.U.N.
evokes the aesthetic of advertising.
