Summary
Born in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Lionel LeMoine FitzGerald's boyhood summers had been spent on his grandmother's prairie farm. FitzGerald studied art in Winnipeg, Pittsburgh and New York and in 1924 began teaching at the Winnipeg School of Art. In 1929 he was appointed Principal of the school, a position he held until 1949. FitzGerald was the only western Canadian painter to become a member of the Group of Seven. Although geographically removed from the centre of activity as well as employing a very different approach to landscape painting, FitzGerald was invited to become a member of the Group of Seven shortly before it disbanded in 1932 and subsequently became one of the founding members of its successor, the Canadian Group of Painters. His paintings are of prairie scenes. In later years, FitzGerald focused on abstract painting and still life, working mainly in chalk, ink and watercolour. [Adapted from McMichael Collection]
