George Noel Gittoes, is an Australian artist, documentary filmmaker, photographer, and writer. For the greater part of his career he has focused on human conflict, but always as a personal eye-witness. Since 1986 this has meant constant travel to war zones and areas of conflict, including Nicaragua, the Philippines, Somalia, Cambodia, Western Sahara and Algeria, the Middle East, South Africa, Rwanda, Mozambique, Bosnia, Northern Ireland, China and Tibet, Bougainville, East Timor, Congo, and Iraq, and troubled areas in the USA. Since 2007 he has worked particularly in Pakistan, Afghanistan and, since the Russian invasion in 2022, Ukraine. Having been a co-founder of the Yellow House Artist Collective in Sydney in 1970, in 2011 he opened a Yellow House Jalalabad in Afghanistan. Gittoes has worked in a number of media, including drawing, painting, photography, and film making. His work is held in major galleries around Australia, including the National Gallery in Canberra and the Australian War Memorial.
