From the Author
It was a special pleasure to work with the staff at the Art Canada Institute. Warm thanks are due to Sara Angel and Anna Hudson for inviting me to write on Lionel LeMoine FitzGerald, an unsung hero of Canadian art. At the ACI, I would like to acknowledge those who made the writing and production of this book such a rewarding experience. Executive editor Kendra Ward handled gracefully the myriad details involving this publication; image research associate Emma Frank patiently sourced images, as did Marie van Zeyl for the print edition; layout director Simone Wharton and designer Rondie Li are responsible for the beautiful design of the book, and Emily Lawrence assisted in many ways. I would also like to thank the anonymous peer reviewer. An exceptional debt of gratitude goes to my substantive editor Lara Hinchberger who contributed her professional expertise and helpful ideas to this project. A huge note of thanks is due to Paul Sabourin who has generously supported both the digital and print versions of this book. He also kindly showed me his outstanding collection of Canadian art which includes a number of fine works by FitzGerald that appear in this publication.
I am very grateful to Andrew Kear, chief curator at the Winnipeg Art Gallery, who facilitated my research in many ways. I have also benefited from the enthusiasm and suggestions of Dr. Oliver A.I. Botar at the University of Manitoba. Brian Hubner and Linda Eddy kindly assisted me with access to the FitzGerald fonds at the University of Manitoba Archives & Special Collections, Winnipeg. At the Art Gallery of Ontario, I would like to thank Gregory Humeniuk and Brenda Rix for providing information and showing me works in their care. Amy Furness and Donald Rance were helpful beyond measure at the AGO’s E.P. Taylor Reference Library and Archives.
This book in its present form would not have been possible without the encouragement and assistance I received some twenty-nine years ago when I was invited by former Winnipeg Art Gallery director Carol Phillips to curate In Seclusion with Nature, The Later Work of L. LeMoine FitzGerald 1942 to 1956 . At that time it was my privilege to interview three people who knew the artist well: his former student Irene Heywood Hemsworth; patron and collector Dr. E.J. (Ted) Thomas; and FitzGerald’s son-in-law Hugh Morrison. Their generous sharing of their memories at that time remained a strong influence for me as I wrote the current text. While working on In Seclusion with Nature I also benefited greatly from the knowledge of Helen Coy, at that time curator of the FitzGerald Study Centre at the University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, and that of FitzGerald scholar Liz Wylie.
The following friends and colleagues supported my work on this book on both scholarly and logistical fronts: Ken Andrews, Alicia Boutilier, Kenlyn Collins, Charles Hill, Ihor Holubizky, Scott James, Donna Jones, Serena Keshavjee, Alan Loch, Peter Neary, Bronwen Quarry, Morley Shayuk, Sarah Stanners, Georgiana Uhlyarik, Jamie Wright, and Liz Wylie. I would also like to acknowledge Patricia and Earl Green, copyright holders of the FitzGerald estate, for their gracious permission to reproduce works by the artist.
Finally I thank my wife and fellow art historian, Barbara Butts, for her cogent suggestions that improved my manuscript and for her endless patience and willingness to discuss Lionel LeMoine FitzGerald with me.
