History on artist.Born in Melbourne in 1924, Pugh studied at the Melbourne National Gallery under William Dargie from 1947 to 1950. He spent the next four years living in the bush, consolidating an independent style of portraiture based on informality and empathy with the sitter. His reputation as a portrait painter grew, culminating in his winning the Archibald Prize in 1965 and 1971, and again in 1972 with his portrait of Gough Whitlam. Pugh's expressionistic, firmly designed landscapes are also widely acclaimed. His work is represented in most state and provincial galleries. Clifton Pugh died in 1990.
