...piano fabricated by a plumber? A slightly addled robot? The imaginary machines of English Sculptor Eduardo Paolozzi might be any of these-he makes them in a machine shop rather than a studio.

The third leg on Man (see opposite page) has no metaphysical meaning to the shy, short artist who put it there, and he can only suspect that psychologists might be able to give some explanation...
