Description
A 1973 screenprint by Patrick Caulfield, featuring a cigar and rising smoke rendered in flat, graphic shapes and bold colours.
Freud's Smoke, produced in 1973, is a screenprint by the British artist Patrick Caulfield. The work displays the artist's characteristic approach to subject matter, where everyday objects are reduced to their most basic, graphic forms. Caulfield often employed flat areas of colour and precise, clean lines to remove the emotional weight typically associated with representational painting, allowing the viewer to focus on the formal qualities of the image itself.
The composition features a cigar, rendered in a simplified, almost cartoonish manner, set against a pale yellow, shield-like shape. From the tip of the cigar, plumes of smoke rise in a fan-like arrangement. These plumes are depicted as solid, flat shapes of red and dark brown, rather than the wispy, translucent forms one might expect in a traditional depiction of smoke. The entire motif is placed upon a bold, solid red background, creating a stark contrast that pushes the central elements forward.
Caulfield's work is frequently associated with the Pop Art movement, yet his practice remained distinct due to his rigorous attention to composition and his interest in the history of painting. By isolating a single, mundane object like a cigar, he invites a re-evaluation of how we perceive common items when they are stripped of their context and rendered as pure design. The print demonstrates his ability to balance humour with a disciplined, almost architectural approach to visual space. The lack of texture and the deliberate avoidance of painterly brushwork ensure that the focus remains on the interplay of shape, colour, and negative space. This piece is a clear example of his mid-career style, where he refined his visual language to achieve maximum clarity and impact through minimal means.

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.
