Target is a 1947 by Eduardo Paolozzi, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This drawing looks like a bold, flat design with three tall panels. Each panel has bright colors—black, red, and yellow—and simple shapes: circles, triangles, and lines. The middle panel has a big red "X" and a snake-like shape. The top of each panel shows a crown with playing cards (a spade, a heart, and a club). The sides have wavy lines and small figures that look like they’re dancing or marching. The playing cards and crowns might hint at something bigger, but the drawing itself is all about sharp contrasts and clean lines. It feels modern and a little playful, like a mix of old symbols with a fresh twist. If you like this style, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like it.
This Glaswegian ran a junk shop in London’s East End and turned scrap metal into art.
