s Back Yard, Park Avenue - Hull Museums Collections

Back Yard, Park Avenue

The artist studied architecture at Hull and after that joined Hull Artists' Association for a brief period of time. His work is concerned with 'human proportions and the dynamics of form'. Colour plays an important part in his studies. Back Yard, Park Avenue was painted directly onto board, without preparatory sketches, during the early sunny weather enjoyed in the Spring of 1992. It took three consecutive afternoons to complete. The painting was exhibited at the Ferens winter Exhibition, following which the Gallery staff decided to acquire it for the collection. Fitzgerald, who works in Hull, also undertakes commissions.
