Biography

Caulfield was born in London and studied at Chelsea School of Art and the Royal College of Art, London. He had his first solo exhibition in 1965. Together with artists like Paolozzi, Hockney and Tilson, Caulfield formed the core of the British Pop Art movement, although he often claimed to dislike the label. Caulfield's paintings are characterized by the flat colours and black outlines frequently used by Pop Artists; however, he avoided depicting subjects from popular culture and instead preferred to paint landscapes, still lifes and domestic interiors.
