Prunella Clough (1919–1999) was a British artist celebrated for her distinctive contributions to post-war British art. Clough's early work was influenced by her experiences during World War II, where she served as a fire watcher in London, observing the urban landscape and the effects of war on the city. Throughout her career, Clough explored a wide range of subjects and mediums, including painting, drawing, printmaking, and collage. She was known for her bold use of color and her graphic compositions.
Clough's work often focused on urban landscapes, industrial sites, and the detritus of modern life, reflecting her fascination with the intersection of nature and human activity. Her paintings and drawings are characterized by their attention to detail, their sense of atmosphere, and their evocative use of texture. In addition to her urban landscapes, Clough also produced a series of abstract works inspired by the natural world, exploring themes of growth, decay, and transformation.
