Partick Caulfield displayed twenty-two brightly coloured screenprints which were made from a book of poems by French poet, Jules Laforge, not illustrations to the text but complementary images, with the melancholy atmosphere of Caulfield's interiors finding a direct counterpart in Laforgues's poetry.

All the benches are wet, the woods are so rusty
I've only the friendship of Hotel rooms
And I am Alone in the House
Her handkerchief swept me along the Rhine
You'll be sick if you spend all your time indoors
All These Confessions
And, with my eyes bolted toward the unconcious
My Life Inspires so many desires
I'll Take my Life Monotonous
Ah! this life is so everyday
Thus she would come, escaped, half-dead to my door
Ah! storms clouds rushed from the channel coasts
Crying to the walls: My God! My God! will she relent
We wanted to watch the silence
Along a twilighted sky
She Fled along the avenue
Oh Helen, I roam the room
Making circles on park lagoons
She'll have forgotten her scarf
Oh, if one of them, some fine evening, would try
Watch me eat, without appetite, a la carte
