Description
A 1999 screenprint by Patrick Caulfield that reinterprets Picasso's iconic composition through a clean, graphic, and flattened aesthetic.
Patrick Caulfield, a central figure in British Pop Art, produced this screenprint in 1999. The work functions as a witty, formal response to Pablo Picasso’s 1907 masterpiece, Les Demoiselles d'Avignon. While Picasso’s original work shattered traditional perspective through fractured, angular forms, Caulfield adopts a different approach. He flattens the composition into distinct, hard-edged planes of colour, removing the aggressive distortion of the original while retaining the iconic arrangement of the figures. Caulfield is known for his precise, clean lines and his interest in the mechanics of representation. In this print, he strips away the painterly texture of the 1907 work, replacing it with a graphic clarity that reflects his background in commercial design. By presenting the figures from behind, he subverts the traditional gaze associated with the nude. The palette is reduced to bold, flat areas of blue, pink, and deep red, which serve to emphasise the silhouette of each figure against the background. The work demonstrates his ability to engage with art history through a contemporary lens, using the language of screenprinting to re-examine established icons. The result is a composition that feels both familiar and detached, inviting the viewer to consider the act of looking and the nature of artistic appropriation. The print maintains a balance between the recognisable subject matter and the artist's signature style of simplified, graphic reduction.

Artist Biography
Patrick Caulfield
Caulfield left school at fifteen and got a job as a filing clerk at Crosse and Blackwell, the food company. He was moved to the design studio, where he washed brushes and varnished chocolates for display cases. He decided to become an artist after watching the 1952 film Moulin Rouge about Toulouse-Lautrec.
He joined the RAF at seventeen for national service, then studied at the Royal College of Art from 1960 to 1963, alongside Hockney, Allen Jones, R.B. Kitaj, and Derek Boshier. The 1964 New Generation exhibition at the Whitechapel Gallery tagged him as Pop Art. He rejected the label for the rest of his life, calling himself a formal artist.
His paintings use bold, flat outlines and blocks of colour. They depict interiors, still lifes, restaurants, and domestic scenes with a deadpan quality that sits somewhere between commercial illustration and painting. The spaces are often empty or nearly so. A potted plant, a wine glass, a candle: the objects are ordinary but the treatment makes them strange. He was nominated for the Turner Prize in 1987. David Bowie and Charles Saatchi both collected his work. He died in 2005. The street in Acton where he was born was renamed Caulfield Road.
