Patrick Caulfield - United Kingdom

Art Brokerage: Paul Caulfield British Artist: b. 1936 - 2005. He was an English painter and printmaker known for his pop art canvases. He studied at the Chelsea School of Art from 1956 to 1960, and at the Royal College of Art from 1960 to 1963, where his fellow pupils included David Hockney and Allen Jones. In 1964, he exhibited at the New Generation show at London's Whitechapel Gallery, which resulted in him being associated with pop art. From around the mid-1970s he began to incorporate more detailed, realistic elements into his work, After Lunch (1975) being one of the first examples. Still-life: Autumn Fashion (1978) contains a variety of different styles and some objects have heavy black outlines and flat colour, but a bowl of oysters is depicted more realistically, and other areas are executed with looser brushwork. Caulfield later returned to his earlier, more stripped-down style of painting. In 1987, Caulfield was nominated for the Turner Prize and in 1996 he was made a CBE. Listings wanted.
