Biography
printmaker, sculptor and decorative artist, studied in America before following his family to Australia in 1928. There he rented a studio at Circular Quay where he produced sculpture and linocuts as well as Arts and Crafts pieces such as lampshades, book-ends, wall hangings and batik shawls. He is presumably the ' F.W. ' who did the colour cover of New Triad used for the final issues of March-July 1928. Later that year, he participated in the Burdekin House exhibition and co-designed an interior for a “man’s study” with Henry Pynor. This included furniture, textiles and other elements. Weitzel worked closely with Ronald Wakelin and exhibited with the Society of Artists and the Group of Seven at Macquarie Galleries in 1930. Only 14 linocuts are known, some produced before he arrived in Australia. They are strong images, all apparently in colour, eg Island Legend [German expressionist primitive], not dated, and Cafe [sailors in port] c.1927 (ill. Lebovic & Warner, Fifty Years , cats 100, 101) Latter also ill. Josef Lebovic Gallery, 20th Anniversary Exhibition Collectors’ List 1997 No.63 , Paddington 12 April-17 May 1997, no.140, which gives alternate birth-date. This entry is a stub.
