Patrick Caulfield (1936 - 2005) was born in London. He was a student at Chelsea School of Art from 1956 - 1960, followed by the Royal College of Art from 1960 - 63, studying alongside David Hockney and Allen Jones. His subject matter draws more from the masters of modern art such as Georges Braque, Juan Gris and Fernand Léger than from the consumer culture that preoccupied his fellow students. During his lifetime, major retrospectives of his paintings were held at Serpentine Gallery, London (1992); Hayward Gallery, London (1999), Yale Center for British Art, Connecticut; Tate, London (1981) and Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool (1981). Caulfield's works are held by major museums all over the in the world. In 1987 he was nominated for the Turner Prize and in 1993 was elected a Royal Academician. In 1996 he was made a CBE. Patrick Caulfield died aged 69 in 2005, in London having made an indelible contribution to British painting and printmaking.
