Clifton Ernest Pugh AO, (17 December 1924 – 14 October 1990) was an Australian artist and three-time winner of Australia's Archibald Prize. He was strongly influenced by German Expressionism, and was known for his landscapes and portraiture.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.portrait.gov.au/exhibit/pugh/index.htm )〕 Important early group exhibitions include The Antipodeans, the exhibition for which Bernard Smith drafted a manifesto in support of Australian figurative painting, an exhibition in which Arthur Boyd, David Boyd, John Brack, Robert Dickerson, John Perceval and Charles Blackman showed; a joint exhibition with Barry Humphries, in which the two responded to Dadaism; and Group of Four at the Victorian Artists Society Gallery with Pugh, John Howley, Don Laycock and Lawrence Daws.〔 Pugh was made an Officer of the Order of Australia in 1985 for service to Australian Art. In 1990 he was appointed as the Australian War Memorial's official artist at the 75th anniversary celebrations of the Gallipoli landing.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://cas.awm.gov.au/item/ART29530 )〕 ==Early life==
Pugh was born in Richmond, Victoria. Both Pugh's parents were amateur painters, and as a young man during the 1940s Pugh attended evening classes at the Swinburne Technical College to study cartoon drawing. Two years later whilst living in Adelaide he took evening classes in life drawing at the South Australian School of Arts and Crafts.〔 Pugh served with the AIF in New Guinea during World War II and with the British Commonwealth Occupation Force in Japan after the war.〔 A group of Japanese soldiers surrendered to the unit with which Pugh was fighting during a lull in fighting, and on receiving orders to proceed Pugh and others shot and killed them.〔 This incident and the guilt he felt affected his attitude to war (he became a pacifist) and his painting.
