Esteemed Australian artist Clifton Pugh was best known for his landscape and portrait work. In this golden original etching, he explores the former, carving out Australia’s thick undergrowth. Bulbous tree roots rear in splattered marshland, as Pugh evokes the textured environment, leaving the palette monotonal.
A passionate environmentalist, Pugh is a celebrated figure of Australian art. He formed part of the Antipodean movement and is represented in most public institutions.
