Unstill Life: Art, Politics and Living with Clifton Pugh is Judith Pugh’s intimate biography of her celebrated Australian artist-husband, charting the collision between bohemian creativity and turbulent political activism. The memoir sweeps from their bush studio at Dunmoochin to the galleries of Melbourne, revealing how Clifton Pugh’s vivid canvases and left-wing convictions shaped—and sometimes shook—their domestic world.

Richly illustrated throughout, this 2008 Allen & Unwin UK-trade paperback gives collectors and art-history readers a visual feast alongside candid anecdotes of feminist awakening and cultural upheaval. At 368 pages, the book is a substantial yet very good, unmarked copy—no notes, no dog-ears, and from a smoke-free home—ready to slip onto any shelf devoted to Australian art, biography or women’s studies.

Judith Pugh’s story speaks to anyone curious about the sacrifices behind iconic portraits and the price of living with genius, making this title a compelling bridge between memoir and art history.
