Eduardo Paolozzi

David Brittain

"From 1967, up until his death, Eduardo Paolozzi was involved with the innovative British literary magazine Ambit, using its pages as a space for some of his most experimental and innovative creations, pushing at the boundary between text and image. Collages, visual essays and fragments from novels, drawing on pop culture images from newspapers, magazines and advertisements. Reprinted in their entirety for the first time, Paolozzi's works for Ambit tackle the war in Vietnam, the acceleration of Japanese technology, and the utopias of mass advertising. The Jet Age Compendium reproduces the Paolozzi pages from Ambit along with magazine covers, poems and advertisements that originally appeared alongside the artist's work. The book is housed in a day-glo pink sleeve that also contains an essay written by David Brittain which puts Paolozzi's work for the magazine into context"-- Publisher's website.

Thirty Years of Writing

Creative Camera

Founded in 1968, Creative Camera has always been more than a magazine: it has been a forum for the influencing shape and direction of modern photography. This anthology of fifty texts and their images includes moments from the debate. There are strong and distinctive voices, many in lively disagreement, of writers and artists such as Roland Barthes, John Berger, Victor Burgin, Jo Spence, and Helen Chadwick.
