1999 - Spotlight on Prunella Clough

Prunella Clough (1919 – 1999), is one of Britain’s most respected painters. Her work combines both figuration and abstraction, and her subjects come from the urban landscape. Early on in her career she made sketches in factories and at Lowestoft Harbour, with its maritime life. Her later works demonstrate an equally meticulous observation of everyday objects. Often transforming them, she leaves only traces and hints of their former selves.  The exhibition organised by the Haywrard Gallery toured extensively throughout the UK.
