This screenprint by the British artist Patrick #Caulfield is a reversal of Pablo #Picasso’s well-known oil painting Les Demoiselles d’Avignon of 1907 – striking a comic note. The reversal is both a visual pun on the #printing process, which reverses the original design, and a verbal pun on the French word “derrière”. Caulfield has emphasised the boldness of Picasso’s painting by focusing on the strong, angular forms of the women’s bodies, placing their orange-pink skin against a robust sky-blue colour and stripping back the composition. While the women do not meet our gaze as they do in the original – one of the aspects of Picasso’s painting that made it extremely controversial when it was first revealed– they are nevertheless depicted standing defiantly. The device of appropriating imagery from existing visual sources is a central aspect of pop art, in relation to which Caulfield’s work developed from his time at the Royal College of Art onwards. On view in our #London galleries ahead of September’s Made in Britain sale. #SothebysModBrit #MadeinBritain #PopArt #PatrickCaulfield #PabloPicasso
