Les Demoiselles d'Avignon vues de derrière 1999

Patrick Caulfield’s 1999 print "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon vues de derrière," is a bold and colorful homage to Pablo Picasso’s seminal 1907 work, “Les Demoiselles d'Avignon.” Caulfield, known for his graphic and simplified style, reinterprets Picasso's groundbreaking painting in a modern, playful way. The composition is simplified, featuring five female figures rendered in flat, geometric shapes against a vibrant, flat-color background. This bold, graphic style is characteristic of Caulfield's work, and it evokes a sense of both humor and abstraction. Caulfield's print is a playful commentary on the enduring influence of Picasso’s work, and a testament to the power of art to be reinterpreted and reinvented.
