黑料不打烊

Patrick Caulfield, painter and printmaker, was born 29th January 1936 in London, England. He was among the generation of artists, including David Hockney, Peter Blake and Allen Jones, who seemed to epitomise British Pop Art, though his work often has an introspective or melancholic mood quite unlike Pop Art's more upbeat style. Since the 1960s he produced pictures of interiors and still lifes that suggest the banality of everyday existence. Patrick Caulfield studied at Chelsea School of Art, London from 1956 to 1960 and at the Royal College of Art, London from 1960 to 1963. Caulfield鈥檚 first solo exhibition was held in 1965 at the Robert Fraser Gallery, London. His international reputation was quickly established and a string of one-man shows of his work were held in the UK and in many countries throughout the world. His influence can be seen in many artists work including Michael Craig-Martin and Julian Opie. Patrick Caulfield died in 2005. There is no doubt that he will be remembered as one of the great British painters of the late 20th century.
