Born in London on the 29th of January 1936, Patrick Caulfield was an English painter and printmaker.
Caulfield began his studies in 1956 at Chelsea School of Art, London, continuing at the Royal College of Art (1960-63),
He became associated with Pop art mainly because of his participation in the New Generation exhibition at the Whitechapel Art Gallery, London, in 1964.
Caulfield's paintings are figurative, often showing a few simple objects in an interior. Typically, he used flat areas of simple colour surrounded by black outlines.
In 1987 Caulfield was nominated for the Turner Prize and in 1996 he was made a CBE.
He died in London in 2005 and is buried in Highgate Cemetery.

I admire His determination to get the artwork finished, but also to not stop working after half a page, the work is consistantly very neat and well drawn out. I like the fact te pots get smaller as they go nearer the top of the page. The colours are very bold and bright, but I think it looks too much like a cartoon. I know it would be hard drawing all them pots in full detail but I think he looks like a good drawer who could make them more realistic.

i think this is very creative and unique and looks afective.
I don't like this artwork because the images are boring and they look like there in the wrong places. the colour makes the artwork look more attractive but I don't think that the objects are attractive or eye catching.

I like the use of colours and the different types of shapes. He has drawn a very imaginitive peice of artwork because when i look at this drawing I imagine he has based it on real objects layed out in an interesting way. I like this drawing!

REBECCA HEWITT GOOD USE OF COLOURS IS USED BUT COULD OF PUT SOME MORE THINGS IUN APART FROM POTTERY.
He has used a good use of colou and shapes. This makes the drawing effective and admirable. I like this drawing! It is more cartoon like and its a bit boring.
