Description
A striking still life by Patrick Caulfield, featuring simplified forms and bold outlines characteristic of his Pop Art style. The composition includes a pitcher, pearls, and a dagger against a geometric background.
Patrick Caulfield (1936-2005) was a British painter and printmaker known for his bold, graphic style and his contributions to the Pop Art movement. Caulfield's work often combines elements of still life, interior scenes, and architectural motifs, rendered in flat planes of colour and outlined with thick, black lines. His approach blends abstraction with representation, creating a distinctive visual language that is both accessible and sophisticated. 'Still Life with Dagger' exemplifies Caulfield's signature style. The composition features a collection of objects: a grey pitcher outlined in orange, a string of pearls, and a turquoise dagger. These elements are set against a background of geometric shapes and muted tones, creating a sense of depth and spatial ambiguity. The flat, simplified forms and bold outlines are characteristic of Caulfield's Pop Art sensibility, while the subject matter evokes a sense of mystery and intrigue. The juxtaposition of everyday objects with more exotic items adds a layer of complexity to the work, inviting viewers to contemplate the relationships between form, function, and meaning.

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.
