About Gerald Fitzgerald
Born in Hunters Hill, Sydney in 1873, Gerald Fitzgerald studied at the Royal Art Society School, Sydney, under W. Lister Lister, and in Paris at the Académie Colarossi and Academie Modern. A watercolourist, he mostly painted scenes of the New South Wales south coast and Blue Mountains. His first exhibition was with the Art Society of NSW in 1894, and thereafter he regularly exhibited with art societies in Australia and New Zealand. In 1898 three of his works were selected for inclusion in the Exhibition of Australian Art in London. He was later appointed to the committee of the Royal Art Society of NSW, but eventually abandoned painting to become a farmer.
