Douglas Baulch

Ernest Douglas Baulch (24 May 1917 – 23 February 1996) was an Australian artist.

Baulch studied at the Prahran Technical College, where his talent for landscapes and impressionism emerged. During World War I, he served in the Royal Australian Air Force. He was commissioned to produce various posters and signage related to the war effort. Baulch worked as a commercial artist for much of his career, producing personal art in his spare time. Many of his works featured landscapes with small children in the background. He exhibited at Government House, state libraries, universities, and banks. In addition, 20 pieces of works were on public display for over 20 years at his alma mater, Prahran Technical College. The need to support his family, and the theft of two of his works from a gallery early in his career, led to Baulch exhibiting less than his peers. However, after his children were grown, Baulch was able to devote more of his time to his work, as well as teaching from his home, on television, and at various colleges and universities. His works are currently held in numerous private collections.
