"Study of Heads for the Cave of the Golden Calf" is a notable work by the English painter Spencer Frederick Gore (1878–1914), who was a prominent figure in the development of British modernist painting. This work is particularly significant as it relates to Gore's involvement with the Cave of the Golden Calf, a nightclub and avant-garde venue located in London's Heddon Street, which opened in 1912 and was often considered Britain's first attempt at a truly bohemian club, inspired by the cabarets of Paris.

The "Study of Heads" is a preparatory work that showcases Gore's interest in capturing the essence of the club's eclectic and bohemian clientele. The piece is characterized by Gore's distinctive use of color and form, which reflects the influence of Post-Impressionism and early expressions of British modernism. Gore's style in this work is marked by a departure from strict naturalism, moving towards a more stylized representation of figures, which aligns with the modernist sensibilities of the time.

As a study, this artwork served as a conceptual and compositional exploration for Gore's larger decorative project within the Cave of the Golden Calf. The club itself was a hub for the avant-garde, attracting artists, writers, and intellectuals who were drawn to its atmosphere of artistic freedom and experimentation. Gore's involvement with the club and his contributions to its visual aesthetic through works like "Study of Heads" underscore his role in the intersection of fine art and the performative, social spaces of early 20th-century London.

The "Study of Heads for the Cave of the Golden Calf" not only provides insight into Gore's artistic process but also serves as a historical document reflecting the cultural milieu of the period. The work is emblematic of the era's shifting attitudes towards art, social norms, and the role of the artist in society. As such, it holds a place of significance in the study of British modernism and the cultural history of London during the pre-World War I years.
