1919 - 1983 born in Scarborough, Yorkshire, and studied at the local art
school and at Bath Academy of Art. He ran the lithography studio at Bath
from 1950 until his retirement in 1981. He was a regular exhibitor in
international print exhibitions and in 1960 was one of five artists
shown in the British Pavilion at the Venice Biennale. His early works
seemed derived from both Surrealism and the neo-romantic English
landscape school of the1940s. Throughout the 1950s Cliffe's work became
more concerned with the relationship between the human figure and the
landscape and in 1959 a suite of lithographs on this theme was published
by the St George's Gallery, London.
