Hal Steward (Stuart) Wilcox was born in California on March 14, 1892. Wilcox used several aliases for his art works: Piko Siska, Hal Stuart, Michelle Stuart, and Harold Stuart Wilcox. He lived in Laurel Canyon (Los Angeles) in 1931-32 and then made a trip to Tahiti and the Cook Islands. Later in his life he owned a fabric company in Honolulu where he designed native patterned fabric, and was enlisted in the WWI army working on camouflage alongside the "Camofleurs". He went on to do paintings of Mexico in the early 60's, and was a set designer in Hollywood working for Cecil B. Demille. He is best remembered for his woodblock prints of the South Seas. He died in San Diego, CA on April 13, 1982.
