High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Alexander G. Weygers, (October 12, 1901–July 23, 1989), was a polymath American artist who is best known as a sculptor, painter, print maker, philosopher, and author. He was born in Java, Indonesia, to Dutch parents. Gaining his formal education in the Netherlands, Weygers was a practicing engineer when he immigrated to the United States of America at the age of 30 to take residence in Seattle. Weygers returned to Java in 1923, and his fiancee, Jacoba Hutter, joined him there from Holland in 1924. They were married in Java, but since she could not adjust to the tropical climate, they emigrated to the United States, where she later died in child birth. He was devastated by the death of his wife, and decided to abandon engineering for art. He studied at the Chicago Art Institute, where he was taught by the sculptor, Lorado Taft. Following that he studied various aspects of art in the European centers that were renowned for the areas that interested him. Moving to California in the 1930s, he established a studio in Berkeley and began teaching.
