PATRICK CAULFIELD
Although often referred to as a 'Pop' artist, Patrick Caulfield disliked being associated with that movement. Nevertheless, he shared with those artists a certain objective and dispassionate style in his art.
A resident of Belsize Park, north London, it was only natural that Caulfield (1936-2005) should choose to be buried in Highgate Cemetery.
But his memorial is a complete surprise. He designed it himself, and there is nothing like it anywhere. The letters D E A D are pierced through a sleek slab of stone, a stark statement of fact presented with the same objectivity as his paintings.
His memorial speaks tellingly about an impassive man who rarely showed his inner passions.
