Clifton Pugh, born in 1924 is an Australian artist who achieved national and international recognition, best known as a painter of portraits, nudes and landscapes, with a particular passion for Australia and its wildlife. Pugh was also a prolific printmaker, and three-time winner of Australia's Archibald Prize.

Pugh’s work captures the essence of Australia.
