Biography
painter, etcher, teacher and illustrator, was born in London on 22 August 1892. He did many wood etchings, comparable to those by Weaver Hawkins , a fellow student at Camberwell School of Arts and Crafts, London in 1910-14, alone and with the English artist William Kermode. Wounded in WWI, he wore a metal plate in his head afterwards. Medworth came to Australia in 1939 and was an influential painter and teacher at East Sydney Technical College, where he was senior lecturer in art from 1939 to his death. He suicided in Mexico City while on a visit as a member of an UNESCO delegation, apparently from the unbearable pain in his head at that altitude.
