I love Patrick Caulfield's "After Lunch" for its bold

visual style, with flat colors and strong outlines that
create a captivating graphic clarity. The meticulous
composition and the interplay between representation
and abstraction in the depiction of everyday objects
appeal to my aesthetic sensibilities, making the painting
a source of visual delight and contemplation.
Patrick Caulfield's style is marked by bold simplicity,
flat colors, and strong black outlines, creating graphic,
almost illustrative compositions. His distinctive approach
blurs the line between representation and abstraction,
offering a unique perspective on everyday subjects.
