Photographs, including photographs of Paintings

Component identifier:

Series 9

Content Summary:

The series includes three albums of photographs of Pugh's paintings, and a large number of loose photographs, both personal and professional. Many of the loose photographs are duplicates of photographs in the albums. Further photographs can be found in Series 10.

The photographs of his paintings are of the bush, its animals and birds, its droughts and tragedies, and of people, the politicians, artists, writers, academics and Labor figures who were his friends. The photographs, mostly colour, are not titled or dated, except in one small album, 12.5 x 9cm, dated December 1976. This has photographs of the Pughs (Clifton and Judith), the Dattners and the Marginsons, including a painting of Betty Marginson, mayor of Hawthorn. (Box 9)

There are very few family photographs among the loose photographs. They are mainly of friends and public figures he painted, including Prince Philip, Sir John Kerr, Prue Acton and David Williamson, and photographs from his sketching trips and of Dunmoochin.

The loose photographs, in four boxes, are unsorted.

Immediate source of acquisition:
