Description
A classic example of British Pop Art, this work by Patrick Caulfield uses bold outlines and flat, saturated colours to reimagine the traditional still life.
Patrick Caulfield, a central figure in British Pop Art, is known for his precise, graphic approach to painting. Still Life: Autumn Fashion, produced in 1978, demonstrates his signature style: bold, black outlines enclosing flat areas of colour. This work rejects traditional painterly techniques in favour of a clean, commercial aesthetic that draws inspiration from screen printing and graphic design.
The composition is constructed through a series of distinct, flattened planes. Caulfield uses these to create a sense of interior space that feels both domestic and artificial. The left side of the canvas features a repetitive, geometric wallpaper pattern, which contrasts with the more organic, yet still highly stylised, forms of the objects in the foreground. A plate of oysters and a basket of leeks sit upon a surface, rendered with a stark simplicity that strips away unnecessary detail. The background includes an orange wall and a framed, diamond-patterned panel, further emphasising the artist's interest in the interplay between different decorative motifs.
Caulfield's work often engages with the history of the still life genre, yet he updates it through a modern, detached lens. By using flat, unmodulated colour, he removes the emotional weight typically associated with the subject matter. The result is a clinical, yet visually arresting, examination of everyday objects. The painting invites the viewer to consider the relationship between the items depicted and the environment they occupy. It is a study in balance, where the tension between the patterned surfaces and the simplified forms creates a unique visual rhythm. This print captures the precise lines and saturated hues of the original, offering a clear representation of Caulfield's technical rigour and his ability to transform mundane subjects into compelling graphic statements.

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.
