Heffel Auction House Biography and Notes

Lionel Lemoine FitzGerald spent his whole life in Winnipeg, but developed a relationship with Toronto's Group of Seven. He met Frank Johnston in 1921 when he came to Winnipeg to teach, and he corresponded with other members, who kept him apprised of artistic developments in Toronto. After exhibiting with them from 1929 to 1932, he joined them in 1932. FitzGerald's devotion to his Prairie surroundings started at a young age - as he stated in a Canadian Broadcasting Corporation broadcast, "Summers spent at my grandmother's farm in southern Manitoba [at Snowflake] were wonderful times for roaming through the woods and over the fields, and the vivid impressions of those holidays inspired many drawings and paintings of a later date." In the early 1920s, FitzGerald's work showed the influence of Impressionism, seen in his one-man exhibition in 1921 at the Winnipeg Art Gallery. Barn and Lane reflects his interest in atmosphere and light at this time, and his soft mauve pastels are quite exquisite. However, this work has evolved from his dappled style and is executed with more robust brushwork, making it both vigorous and atmospheric.
