Patrick Caulfield

Caulfield's incredibly bold use of colour and simple lines made him a pioneer of early British contemporary art. But he himself rejected any such classification, striving instead to be seen in the same light as his French cubist and modernist heroes, Georges Braque and Fernand Leger. This survey shows the artist's progression from early still life painting through to the use of trompe l'oeil effects and the inclusion of photorealism.
