"The solid black outline that became such an essential of Caulfield’s signature style... Caulfield work, both in its making and in the way we experience it, relies in equal measure on memory, observation and imagination."（p10）

“His imagery too, however ordinary it may seem on first glance, is unusually emotive, spurring the spectator into profound and unexpected reveries about the inexplicable strangeness of life itself. Caulfield is a great maker of paintings, but he is also -much more than that-a visionary, yet plain-speaking and wholly unpretentious, philosopher-poet.”（p11）

He is combining objects at random and placing them into spaces. I like the seemingly careless, yet arrangeable atmosphere. His work has always brought me a mysterious feeling, in that most of his work shows objects and spaces, but I can always feel the breath of life, which is something I find very interesting.
