Active in Paris: 1946–1968

Eduardo Paolozzi (Sir Eduardo Luigi Paolozzi) (1924–2005) was a Scottish artist known for his sculpture and graphic works and is widely regarded as one of the pioneers of Pop Art. During his time in postwar Paris, he moved within the same international artistic circles as Ellsworth Kelly. In 1951, Paolozzi introduced Kelly to Louis Clayeux, a French publisher and collaborator of Aimé Maeght involved with Galerie Maeght and the journal Derrière le miroir.
