Biography
Painter, was born in England in 1855. He studied at the National Gallery Schools, Melbourne in the 1880s. In September 1890 he was one of the artists renting a lodge in the grounds of Charterisville at half a crown a week ( Walter Withers was in the main house and other tenants were Hal Waugh , Leon Pole and Tom Humphrey .) After trying his luck at the WA goldfields in the 1890s, Fred Williams went to Perth. He designed the catalogue for the 3rd exhibition of the W.A. Society of Art (1896-1914), successor to the Wilgie Club, that was held in Hamburg Chambers, Hay Street, Perth in December 1898. It shows a young woman in classical dress painting a landscape on an easel and holding a palette (ill. Erickson, 13). According to Moore, Williams was the creative force behind the Society’s art courses, which he had campaigned to set up. He was President of the Society from 1898 to 1904 and remained a member until he left WA about 1916. Along with Pitt Morison and James Linton , he 'led the push’ to set up the Perth Technical School (Erickson, 11). This entry is a stub. You can help DAAO by submitting a biography.
