Some poems of Jules LaForgue with images by Patrick Caulfield

Patrick Caulfield, Frank Kicherer, Jules LaForgue

1973

The image displays a series of vertical lines and cone-like shapes arranged diagonally across the canvas. The composition is dominated by shades of green, bordered by thick black outlines. The pointed shapes may evoke the appearance of sharp pickets aligned in a row. The contrast between the elements and the background enhances the image's abstract nature, while the forms create a rhythmic pattern.

She fled along the avenue

Patrick Caulfield, Frank Kicherer

1973

The image consists of bold, thick black vertical and diagonal lines framing sections of a deep green background. In the center, there is an abstract heart shape in blue. The overall design resembles a simplified fence or wall with the heart as a decorative cut-out. The composition blends geometric precision with a familiar symbol, creating an abstract representation of a heart against an orderly lined backdrop.
