• Illustration — Fullwood standing fourth from the left in this group portrait of Australian official war artists, 1916-1918 by George Coates, 1920 Fullwood was born in Hockely, Birmingham, son of Frederick John Fullwood, jeweller, and his wife Emma, née Barr. From 1878, Fullwood studied art at evening classes at the Birmingham Institute. He studied art at the Birmingham School of Landscape Art at the Birmingham YMCA. Albert Fullwood painted alongside members of the Heidelberg School at Eaglemont around 1889 to 1891. This period was a crucial time for the Heidelberg School, as it marked the peak of their plein air painting activities. Fullwood is represented in numerous galleries including the Art Gallery of New South Wales, the National Gallery of Victoria, the Art Gallery of South Australia, the Wollongong Art Gallery, Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden, the Budapest Museum of Fine Arts, and in the Australian War Memorial. A significant painting of the early Ballarat streetscape is held by Ballarat Art Gallery and a very large watercolour of Chalk Quarries (c. 1910) is held in a private collection in Doreen, Victoria.
