Warren Chase Merritt was born in Randsburg, California, on December 3, 1897. As a young boy, Merritt sketched ships along the Eureka waterfront. He was fascinated by the sea, and his childhood along the coast had a great influence on his future work. When he was about 14, his father, manager of the North Pacific Steamship Company, was drowned in the wreck of the Hanalei off Duxbury Reef. Soon thereafter, the Merritt family moved to Sausalito, and he enrolled at the CSFA for one term while working as a commercial artist. In 1929, the Crown Zellerbach Corporation commissioned him to paint his first mural, the history of papermaking and shipping in the San Francisco Bay area.
Throughout his life, Merritt painted several murals, one commissioned by the Shell Oil Company and another by Pacific Gas & Electric, plus several historical wall panels for the Mamaroneck Public Library in New York. Between 1935–42, Merritt's studio was in New York, but he divided his time between the East and West coasts. Returning to California during WWII, he worked in the engineering office at Bethlehem Steel in Alameda. After the war, he and his wife moved to Capitola, where he continued to paint a variety of subjects. Merritt worked for many years as an illustrator for Railroad Magazine and also did illustrations for California history books during the 1940s–50s. In addition to painting, he was an accomplished musician and often played with a group of friends at dances and functions held in Santa Cruz and the Capitola area. He died in Capitola, California in 1968.

Pity June 4th. Nude watercolor on paper
By Celso José Castro Daza
Located in Miami Beach, FL
Throughout his artistic career, Castro has exalted the figure and genitality of the Latin American man, putting into tension the limits imposed by the sex/gender system that are part of an unquestionable patriarchal and phallocentric order. The majority of those portrayed are inhabitants of the Colombian coast, also constructing alternative ways of conceiving Latin American identity. By breaking taboos about corporality and male sexuality, his work has been censored on numerous occasions due to public accusations of immorality and pornography. Celso Castro’s work is a bare-bulb erotic photo...
