He married fellow artist Eleanor Constance "Nornie" Gude (8 December 1915 – 24 January 2002) in January 1943 and they were the parents of Anne Lorraine Pendlebury (born 21 August 1946), a stage, film and TV actress; and Andrew Scott Pendlebury (born 1952) a guitarist-songwriter. Pendlebury won the Wynne Prize four times for his landscape paintings with ''The Chicory Kiln, Phillip Island'' (1956), ''Constitution Dock, Hobart'' (1957), ''Old Farmhouse'' (1960, shared with John Perceval's ''Dairy Farm, Victoria'') and ''Road to Whistlewood'' (1968). He was a finalist in the Archibald Prize twenty-four times, including ''Nornie Gude (Artist)'' (1944) and ''Anne and Drew Pendlebury (actress and musician respectively)'' (1979). His work was presented in the state galleries of New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania and Victoria. Pendlebury worked at Swinburne Technical College as an instructor from 1946 to 1963 and then as head of the art school until his retirement in 1974. He died in May 1986, aged 72. ==Biography== Laurence Scott Pendlebury was born on 21 April 1914 in Melbourne.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Laurence Scott Pendlebury (1914–1986) )〕〔 His father was Thomas Pendlebury (ca. 1872 – 20 October 1945), who worked at the Government Printing Office, and his mother was Jessie (died 25 January 1935); his older siblings were Thelma, Kath, Lyla/Leila and Thomas junior. Pendlebury attended the National Gallery of Victoria Art School from 1932 to 1938.〔 While there, in 1936, he met fellow artist, Eleanor Constance "Nornie" Gude (8 December 1915 – 24 January 2002), daughter of Ballarat-based artist, Walter Gude. On 28 January 1943 Pendlebury and Gude married. During World War II, on 26 April 1945, Pendlebury enlisted in the Australian Army and was discharged as a Sergeant on 21 December that year.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Pendlebury, Laurence Scott )〕 Pendlebury and Gude's children are Anne Lorraine Pendlebury (born 21 August 1946), who became a stage, film and TV actress; and Andrew Scott Pendlebury (born 1952) a guitarist-songwriter.〔〔 In May 1953 Pendlebury won the Dunlop Art Contest, with a first prize of A£300, ahead of Arthur Boyd, for his oil painting, ''Late Afternoon – Rhyll''.〔 It was Pendlebury's fourth award in the competition, he finished third in 1952, fourth in 1951,〔 and fourth previously in 1950 – the competition's inaugural year. The contest was sponsored by the Dunlop Rubber Company of Australia (later became Ansell) and aimed to "foster contemporary Australian art on aesthetic merits alone".〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://trove.nla.gov.au/work/32484365 )〕 One of the 1953 judges, Arnold Shore, reported in ''The Argus'', that Pendlebury's work was a "sober, well-considered landscape" and it won against about 900 entries from throughout Australia. When exhibited in Adelaide, ''The Advertiser''s Elizabeth Young preferred the watercolour entrants and felt ''Late Afternoon – Rhyll'' "completely lacks subtlety and with a slick harshness apes to a certain extent the contemporary approach, while having nothing of its essential spirit". Pendlebury has won the Wynne Prize for a landscape painting, four times: ''The chicory kiln, Phillip Island'' (1956), ''Constitution Dock, Hobart'' (1957), ''Old farmhouse'' (1960, tied with John Perceval's ''Dairy Farm, Victoria''), and ''Road to Whistlewood'' (1968). He qualified as a finalist, twenty-four times, in the Archibald Prize by painting portraits of notable Australians, including related subjects: ''Nornie Gude (Artist)'' (1944),〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Archibald Prize Finalists 1944 )〕 ''Walter Gude'' (1945),〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Archibald Prize Finalists 1945 )〕 ''Nornie Gude'' (1949),〔 ''Self Portrait'' (1951),〔 ''Nornie Gude'' (1959),〔 ''Anne as "Irena" in the Three Sisters'' (1968),〔 ''Nornie Gude'' (1978),〔 and ''Anne and Drew Pendlebury (actress and musician respectively)'' (1979).〔 His art work was presented in the state galleries of New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania and Victoria.〔 Pendlebury worked at Swinburne Technical College as an instructor from 1946 to 1963 and then as head of the art school until his retirement in 1974.〔 L.
