Albert Henry Fullwood (1863 - 1930)
English artist trained at the Birmingham School of Art before emigrating to Sydney in 1883.
He initially worked for John Sands Ltd and as an illustrator for Henry Parkes Garran, while travelling widely across northern Australia, New Guinea, and New Zealand. In the 1880s he associated with leading colonial artists, including Tom Roberts and Arthur Streeton, and, encouraged by Livingston Hopkins, developed a strong interest in etching. He contributed illustrations to prominent British and Australian periodicals and was active in the Art Society of New South Wales, later helping to establish the Society of Artists. In 1900 Fullwood relocated abroad, spending a year in New York before settling in London, where he worked as an illustrator and exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts and the Salon de la Société des Artistes Français. A member of the Chelsea Arts Club, he served during the World War I with the Allied Arts Corps and later the Royal Army Medical Corps. In 1918 he was appointed an official artist with the Australian Imperial Force in France, depicting the Western Front. Returning to Sydney after demobilisation in 1919, he co-founded the Australian Painter-Etchers’ Society with John Shirlow and became a member of the Australian Watercolour Institute. He died of pneumonia on 1 October 1930.
