LIONEL LEMOINE FITZGERALD
Literature:
Ferdinand Eckhardt, “L.L. FitzGerald (1890-1956) A Memorial Exhibition”, The National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa, 1958, n.p.
Note:
FitzGerald’s first one-man exhibition was held at Winnipeg Art Gallery in 1921. This work displays one of the artist’s favourite subjects; the light of a warm summer day with the expansive view of the prairie under a blue sky dappled with clouds. FitzGerald once remarked how, “the prairie has many aspects, but intense light and the feeling of great space are dominating characteristics.”
