The decorative motif on the cream and yellow curtain quotes the patterned wallpaper in Georges Braque painting The Duet 1937 a reproduction of which was found in Caulfield studio. "Of all the work in this extensive exhibit, I was drawn to and returned several times to the painting The Duet, from the collection of the Pompidou Center. The cubist geometry is certainly evident in the multi-dimensional figures and complex spatial analytics, but there is romantic sensibility that is more attuned to Matisse than Picasso. However, The Duet, which is a riff on Matisse's Piano Lesson, is less severe in temperament. I'd prefer a lesson with Braque's music teacher. I think Romare Bearden also did." Mark Barry
