POA
This strange subject is from the wilder shores of Fitzgerald’s imagination. His manner of painting fairies was evidently Boschian, but with an opiate-fuelled Celtic inventiveness distinctly his own. Involved with the London theatre, his paintings were theatrically staged and lit, and are at their most effective when painted sketchily as if in a dream.
