Gillian Whaite [1934-2012]

Still Life 

c1970

etching / 12″ x 9″ / edition unknown

Gilliam Whaite was the daughter of artist H. Clarence Whaite, who is also represented in the collection. Born in London, she studied there at the Slade School of Fine Art and the Royal Academy in the late 60s and into the 70s. This unsigned, unnumbered etching—possibly an artist’s proof—is similar in style and technique to the work of her near contemporary American printmaker Walter Cleveland [born 1940].
