Philip Gudthaykudthay (b. 1935) Liyagalawumirr (Yolgnu) bark painter, worked as a young man as a stockman, fencer and crocodile hunter around Milingimbi and Ramingining. He started painting in the 1960s, taught by his half-brother Mirritja (Manbarra), selling his work through the Milingimbi mission. His paintings typically centre on his mother's group's imagery, particularly the tuber called munyigani, or on the landscape grid of his own country, from the stories of which he derives his nickname, 'Pussycat'. He had his first solo exhibition at the Garry Anderson Gallery in Sydney in 1983; he contributed several lorrkon to the Aboriginal Memorial (1988). In the 1990s he was included in a number of major group exhibitions including the international show Aratjara (1993-4), Power of the Land (1994) at the National Gallery of Victoria and The Painters of the Wagilag Sisters Story at the NGA in 1997. His work is held in most major Australian collections. Gudthaykudthay has held two exhibitions with Jimmy Wululu.
