Lionel Fitzgerald was best known as the "Painter of the Prairies," even though he painted mostly in his immediate surroundings. A member of the Group of Seven, Fitzgerald was born in Winnipeg in 1890.
He spent his summers on his grandmother's farm in the south of Manitoba where he developed his love of prairies. He left school at fourteen and worked for a wholesale druggist before feeling the urge to draw and become a full-time artist. He studied art in Winnipeg, New York and Pittsburgh (showing 500 of 1143 characters). |
