Sir George Russell Drysdale, AC (7 February 1912 – 29 June 1981), also known as "Tass Drysdale", was an Australian artist.
He won the prestigious Wynne Prize for Sofala in 1947, and represented Australia at the Venice Biennale in 1954.
He was influenced by abstract and surrealist art, and "created a new vision of the Australian scene as revolutionary and influential as that of Tom Roberts".
