Joan Fairfax Whiteside
Joan Fairfax Whiteside was a prodigious artist and illustrator. Born into an eminent Guernsey family, Joan Fairfax Whiteside was raised in a loving, but occasionally prohibitive, traditional home. Her youthful ambitions of becoming an actress or musician were discouraged by her father as unsuitable occupations. Fortunately, her hopes for an artistic career proved more successful – aided by a kindly uncle who offered to fund her tuition.
Exhibiting at The Royal Academy and Royal Society of Portrait Painters while also working as an illustrator, Fairfax Whiteside was both credible artist and commercial success. Her work so impressed one newspaper art editor that he was determined to raise her profile when he later became an art agent. With the advent of World War II, however, Fairfax Whiteside’s skills were destined for a more scientific end.
Fairfax Whiteside studied at Heatherley’s School of Fine Art in Chelsea, London. Founded in 1845, it was the first art school to admit women on equal terms with men. After graduating, she made great strides as an artist and illustrator, despite popular prejudice against women in the profession. Indeed, on her agent’s advice, Fairfax Whiteside judiciously signed her paintings ’J’ to conceal her gender.
In 1945, Fairfax Whiteside joined the Royal Air Force as a Voluntary Aid Detachment of the Red Cross. Posted to the RAF Hospital at Halton, she nursed injured airmen and turned her hand to medical illustration – documenting reconstructive surgery in forensic detail. She worked in this capacity throughout the war, for which she was awarded the Royal Red Cross Medal and a visit to Buckingham Palace to meet George VI. Later, she also became a founding member of the Medical Artists’ Association.

Rare Vintage Art Deco "White Bottoms" Lithograph Pochoir
By Georges Goursat (Sem)
Located in Surfside, FL
This listing is for the one plate. the cover is not included
Lithographs part printed in colour, finished by hand
This portfolio of lively loose pochoir plates sets its sights on pretty much white the title implies: white folks doin' some Jazz Age rump-shakin' to the music of black musicians-a fleshy matron caught up in the groove or banker types Charlestoning the night away, for example. Sem's eye is incomparable, capable of creating figures that are full of life and rich in personality,

The Investor
By Art Hazelwood
Located in Palm Springs, CA
Signed and numbered woodcut from the edition of 15. Political satire is a frequent topic in Hazelwood's work. This print shows a stock investor dancing happily past a homeless figure on the ground, while visions of stock quotes fill his mind. This is the last print available from the edition.
Art Hazelwood calls himself artist, instigator and impresario to define the three intertwining areas of his practice. He uses printmaking within a range of political allegory and satire making work from political posters to fine press edition artist books. He has curated and organized a range of exhibitions at venues from museums to immigrant centers. He has worked for over 20 years with homeless rights groups; creating prints, and street posters, and has authored one book and contributed to another on art and homelessness.
He has been a regular visiting guest artist at San Quentin State Prison and teaches currently at the San Francisco Art Institute. He organized the San Francisco Poster...
