Paolozzi on drawing

Paolozzi having his hand cast in plaster - Edinburgh College of Art, 1996


Extract from Paolozzi Revealed:

" I had just taken this photograph of Paolozzi’s hand, as he waited to have it cast in plaster when he said in a very loud voice:

“Once this would have been sketched. Now you are all using cameras.”

We took the hint. We dropped our cameras and scurried back to the studio to collect our sketchbooks."
