Eduardo Paolozzi (1924-2005) created the Screenprint “Ciao
Picasso” in 1975.
I like the cog look and style of the image as it conjures an
image of gentle ticking of clockwork. I think the wide variety of shapes and
colours create interest within the image. I particularly like the softer pastel
colours. I also think the rounded edges and shapes create a nice, smooth,
flowing appearance to an otherwise “mechanical” design. I think this is also achieved through the use
of the tubular shapes and lines within the image. There is also some vertical symmetry in the
bottom right of the image both in shapes and colour.
Overall this image creates a very reflective atmosphere with
the passage of time in the clockwork design. I think this makes it quite
thought provoking as it makes the viewer think about all the different clock
pieces. I like that, even in chaos, peace/tranquillity can be found.
