LIONEL FITZGERALD CANADIAN LANDSCAPE OIL PAINTING - Lionel LeMoine FitzGerald, Canadian, 1890 to 1956, an oil painting on canvas depicting a landscape. Signed lower right. Lionel LeMoine FitzGerald was a Canadian artist and art educator. He was the only member of the Group of Seven based in western Canada. He worked almost exclusively in Manitoba. Although he accepted the Group of Sevens invitation to become a member in 1932, FitzGerald was less concerned 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.
