  • General Info
General Information
Description
Colin E Self is an English Pop Artist, whose work has addressed the theme of Cold War politics. As a student at the Slade School of Fine Art from 1961 to 1963 Colin Self received encouragement for his drawings and collages from the artists David Hockney and Peter Blake. Visits to the USA and Canada in 1962 and 1965 heightened his consciousness of Cold War politics and events such as the Cuban Missile Crisis and the CND marches led him to create highly-innovative prints such as Nuclear Bomber No.1, one of the earliest multiple plate etchings, and paintings such as ?Waiting Women and Two Nuclear Bombers?. He also explored the relationship between violence and sexual threat in drawings of glamorous models and his iconic ?Leopard-skin Nuclear Bomber? sculptures. Following his trip to the United States in 1965 he produced a series of drawings based on American nuclear fall-out shelters, Art Deco cinema interiors and of hot dogs, which he described as being ?as important a 20th century development as a rocket.? His highly personal and distinctive style of drawing led the artist Richard Hamilton to call him ?the best draughtsman in England since William Blake.?
