  Patrick Caulfield    
       
         
    Born in London in 1936.

British painter and printmaker who lives and works in Chelsea. He studied at the Chelsea School of Art (1956-60) where he later taught (1963-71).

He is widely regarded as a representative of the third generation of British Pop Art. In 1965 he was awarded the Prix de Jeunes Artistes in Paris. A retrospective of his work was held at the Tate Gallery in London in 1981. His earlier work was influenced by a number of artists, including Lichstenstein but he now experiments with combinations of abstract grid structures and figurative motives.

In both his paintings on hardboard and his screenprints he depicts everyday subjects which he treats in strong colours within clear, black outlines.
