Biography
Sculptor born in Hamburg who arrived in 1894 aged nine years. He studied modelling at Perth Technical School under J. W. R. Linton. The syllabus he took required: – Drawing from the decorative casts, heads and figures, after this a short course of artistic anatomy; then painting from still life, drawing and painting from the life, and the study of composition. Modelling will be carried on in conjunction with these Art Classes. Students also studied Design which included: ... historic ornament and principles of ornament, the drawing of scale plans, elevations and sections of the work to be designed, and detailed drawings of the different parts. ... Where the student wishes to apply the knowledge and skill acquired to his or her daily occupation, special attention is given to encourage the development of original design for that purpose. The courses tried to cover the needs of designers for industry and other subjects were taught on demand. Ludwig Steitz took woodcarving courses in 1908. He exhibited a portrait bust with the West Australian Society of Arts in 1912. He also won Lady Hackett’s Prize for Figure Drawing that year. He later studied art in England. He held several solo exhibitions which were mainly portrait bust sculptures and portraits in oils. He enjoyed capturing Aboriginal heads. He was a bachelor, apparently of independent means, who in later life, lived a reclusive existance in Caledonian Avenue in Maylands surrounded by some 3000 of his artworks.
