Biography
Alex Matier was born in Fremantle, Western Australia on April 7, 1901. He attended drawing classes at Fremantle Technical School and taught himself to paint with watercolours later in life. In 1949 he exhibited Fair Weather in the Claude Hotchin Art Prize. In 1952 he exhibited two watercolours titled Fishing Boats and Winter Sky with the Perth Society of Artists, though he was not a member of the Society. In 1958 he won the Claude Hotchin Prize for Watercolour with A Calm Departure. This is now in the City of Fremantle Art Collection. Matier won the prize a further two times, in 1968 with In the Halls, and in 1970 with Pastoral. Both of these works are now in the collection of the Royal Perth Hospital.
