James Wieneke (1906-1981) was well-known in Queensland art circles from the 1930s to the 70s, even serving as Director of the Queensland Art Gallery (1967-74). During the Second World War (1939-45), he became a sergeant in the Field Engineers of the Australian Army. He not only saw deadly action in New Guinea and witnessed the Japanese surrender but also drew and wrote about his military life. After the war, Wieneke morally and materially supported William Bolton’s establishment of the Lionel Lindsay Gallery and Library Collection. The wartime artworks in this exhibition are part of that collection. Source: user.tr.qld.gov.au/today/eventdetail/10721/1093/sergeant-... News of the completion of the mural was also featured in the Catholic Leader (10/6/1948), with the author of the article praising the quality of Wieneke's work - "Completion of the mural over the sanctuary of the church at Kangaroo Point marks a decided advance in ecclesiastical art here in Brisbane, and, we hope, will see a departure from the sausage-machine junk that too often passes as "holy"...Mr Wieneke has admirably succeeded, and those who are responsible for the commission deserve the praise and thanks of all who long to see Mother Church once more the patron and inspiration of a living art."
