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

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