Interior: Evening 1971

"Interior: Evening" is a 1971 painting by British Pop artist Patrick Caulfield, notable for its flat, graphic style. The painting is characterized by bold, outlined shapes in limited, contrasting colors, here being a vibrant red and a dark green. The subject matter, an interior space with a single lamp, is simplified to its essential forms, emphasizing the artistic process over the representation of reality. Caulfield's work reflects a Pop art sensibility, employing the graphic language of advertising and commercial design in its bold colors and stylized forms.
