John Alvero Caldas- Born Manchester 1934 – Died London 2006
"Caldas' portrayal of confrontation, consolation, support, compassion and profound love is a triumph".
Phillip Ward Green "Arts Review". 11th May 1984 "But clearly Caldas knows here exactly what he is doing,
and is undeniably his own man". John Russell Taylor The Times. 27 Sep. 1983
"These images are as hard-won and authentic as any Richard Morphet selected and wrote about in the
catalogue to his exhibition "Traditional Method and Subject in British Art" at the Tate in 1984 Phillip Ward Green,
"Arts Review". 25th Sep 1987
" His 'Women in Libray' is the finest new painting I have seen in years and ought to be in the Tate".
Phillip Ward Green "Arts Review". 30th Sep 1983. I have my life, my living, my ideas, beliefs, opinions,
obsessions, with command over my materials, with control over the task of the least, with my own
consciousness which gives a reality to external reality so what an army of teachers?? And the idea of
self- taught becomes meaningless
