Eduardo Paolozzi's style of art is typically pop art in collage form using vibrant colors.
In this particular piece titled "Refreshing and Delicious" from 1972, there is a collage of what looks like different drink advertisements. From the Coca-Cola one on the side, the couple toasting, and the Kool-Aid one that is on the main display. He uses very vivid colors which are quick to catch the eye. What I like the most about this piece is that it shows the different ways that brands choose to present their product. The couple toasting suggests that you will find love or form a relationship of the sort if you drink this particular drink. The Coca-Cola part gives off a "bring this to complete the party" vibe, or that the six pack would be cool to bring. The Kool-Aid aspect includes the pricing, a punch bowl, ice cream and already made drinks, like everything is all set up for a party.
