Patrick Caulfield’s liking for plants

April 19, 2014|Art & Design, Inspiration, Painting

Patrick Caulfield, CBE, RA (1936 – 2005) is a celebrated UK artist, immediately recognisable for his bold, reductive, outline heavy creations of everyday objects.  The critic Christopher Finch described him as a “Romantic disarmed by his own sense of irony”. He somehow managed to paint very little but portray so much. Although considered an ‘urban painter’ in terms of his subjects, plants in one form or another appeared frequently. Here are some of our favourites.

He has permanent collections at the Tate, although many not on show (see below) and the V&A and various other galleries worldwide.
