18 Jul Patrick Caulfield at Eames Fine Art

Posted at 13:39h in All by

A new exhibition of original screenprints by British Pop artist Patrick Caulfield (1936 – 2005) has opened at Eames Fine Art. The exhibition features the complete set of 1973 screenprints that Caulfield created to illustrate the poetry of Jules Laforgue. Patrick was born in Acton in 1936, studied at Chelsea School of Art and returned there to teach. He also studied at the Royal College of Art  and became connected with his generation of ‘Pop’ artists, although his work was very different in style, using bright, flat colours outlined with a contrasting tone. He frequently chose the traditional subject matter of still life and interiors for his work but interpreted them in a totally modern way.

His first solo exhibition was held in London in 1965 and his international reputation was quickly established with a string of one-man shows held in the UK and across the world. Retrospectives of his work were held at the Tate Gallery in London in 1981 and again in 2013.
