About Lionel Lemoine Fitzgerald

  • Lionel LeMoine FitzGerald (March 17, 1890 – August 5, 1956) was a Canadian artist and art educator.
  • He was the only member of the Group of Seven to be based in western Canada.
  • He worked almost exclusively in Manitoba, where he captured the essence of the prairie in his art.
  • Although he accepted the Group of Seven’s invitation to become a member in 1932, FitzGerald was less concerned than the than the rest of the group with the promotion of a unified Canadian identity.
  • Instead he explored his surroundings, delving deeply into the forces he felt animated and united nature in order to make “the picture a living thing.” His landscapes and still lifes were drawn from his immediate surroundings—the view of the back lane outside his house; a potted plant on the windowsill.
  • His style grew more spare and abstract over his career.
  • His body work includes painting in oil and watercolour, drawing, printmaking and sculpture.
