Clifford Richards is an artist. 7 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Clifford Richards treated printmaking like a playground, he kept a studio above a London pub, where the smell of ink mixed with stale beer. His birds look like they’re mid-gossip, feathers ruffled and eyes sharp, as if you’ve just interrupted their conversation. If you’ve ever seen a print that feels alive without trying too hard, try Slottiwhoswho (1967), it’s the one where a whole flock of made-up birds huddles on a single sheet, waiting to crack you up.
