| Jean Welz was born in Salzburg, Austria and moved to Johannesburg in 1937 in reaction to the uneasy political situation in Europe. Diagnosed with tuberculosis in 1939 the family moved to the little Karoo in 1940, where he ultimately taught at the Hugo Naudé Art Centre in Worcester.
“There is nothing of Africa imprinted on his paintings, there is little that is truly modern, even in his abstract style….he pursued a path outside the main line of SA artistic development ….and yet is regarded as one of the countries most distinguished artists.” E.Berman Art and Artists of South Africa page 328. |
