Beschrijving
A minimalist screenprint by Patrick Caulfield, featuring a simplified window rendered in bold lines and flat colour.
Patrick Caulfield, a central figure in British Pop Art, is recognised for his precise, graphic approach to representation. Small Window (1968) exemplifies his interest in the reduction of form to its most basic components. By employing bold, black outlines and flat areas of colour, Caulfield strips away the unnecessary detail often found in traditional depictions of domestic objects. The work functions as a study of perspective and spatial ambiguity, where the subject is rendered with a clinical, almost detached clarity.
In this screenprint, the artist presents a simplified architectural element. The composition relies on the contrast between the deep blue of the window pane and the neutral grey of the surrounding wall. There is no attempt to mimic the texture of glass or the depth of a room. Instead, Caulfield invites the viewer to consider the object as a signifier. The heavy, uniform line weight is a signature of his practice, derived from his training as a graphic designer and his appreciation for the clarity of commercial signage.
Caulfield often explored the tension between the reality of an object and its representation on a two-dimensional surface. By isolating the window, he removes it from its functional context, forcing a focus on its geometry. This approach aligns with the wider concerns of the 1960s art scene, where artists sought to bridge the gap between high art and the visual language of mass media. The result is a work that feels both immediate and timeless, avoiding the clutter of narrative to focus on the purity of shape and colour. This print remains a clear example of his ability to transform mundane subjects into objects of formal interest through rigorous simplification.

Artist Biography
Patrick Caulfield
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.
