Thomas Fitzpatrick (27 March 1860 – 16 July 1912), pen name Fitz, was an Irish political cartoonist. Fitzpatrick was born in Cork. He contributed to the satirical magazine ''Pat'' (published from 1881-1883), the ''Weekly Freeman'', the ''Irish Figaro'', the ''Irish Emerald'', the ''Weekly Nation'', ''Punch'' and the ''New York Gaelic American'', and was for a time chief cartoonist of the ''National Press''. In 1905 he launched his own satirical magazine, ''The Lepracaun'', which he edited and drew most of the cartoons and illustrations for until his health began to fail in 1911. James Joyce contributed short pieces and cartoon ideas. He died in Dublin. A collection of Fitzpatrick's cartoons from ''The Lepracaun'' was published in book form in 1913. He was also a master illuminator and with his daughter, artist Mary Fitzpatrick O'Brien, he produced many illuminated and richly decorated scrolls and paintings, many reflecting the influence of the early Celtic Revival. He was the grandfather of the Irish fantasy artist Jim Fitzpatrick. ==References== *Theo Snoddy, ''Dictionary of Irish Artists: 20th Century'', Merlin Publishing, 2002 *(Jim Fitzpatrick - biography part 2 page 1 ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Thomas Fitzpatrick (cartoonist)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
