History

A self taught artist who took up painting seriously in his early 20's, following a series of short term jobs. His early work was greatly influenced by French impressionist artist Georges-Pierre Seurat, one of the foremost exponents of the pointillist technique. Whilst Seurat built up his compositions from a multitude of tiny coloured spots, Caesar developed his own technique by using simple pens and ink; composing his paintings with thousands of tiny dots. This minutely detailed use of a fountain pen means that even the smaller works take several months to complete. Impressionism was a 19th century art movement that began as a loose association of Paris-based artists who began publicly exhibiting their art in the 1860s. ... Le Chahut was painted by Seurat from 1889 to 1890. ...

During the early 1980s Caesar became director of the West Midlands Ethnic Minority Arts Service, the organisation promoted multicultural arts regionally and nationally. Caesar was also the first Chairman of Birmingham International Film & Television Festival.
