Church Landscape
A member of the London Group for twenty years, Fitton was also a founder member of the Artists International Association. This was a largely political art body that believed art could be used as a weapon in the class struggle. Many of its founder members were supporters of Communism. At this time Fitton was producing very popular caricatures of political figures. As an established figurative painter, graphic designer and illustrator, Fitton received numerous commissions. He undertook graphic work for London Transport and painted murals for the Festival of Britain. His later work was more illustrative and humorous in style, as conveyed in Church Landscape with its naïve use of perspective and charming depiction of animals and humans.
