Christiaan Barnard. Colour lithograph by G. Scarfe, 1969.

Barnard, dressed in white against a blue ground, sutures an incision in a supine black man, who makes a grimace. Barnard's teeth are made of tombstones. On his sleeve and coat are small purple hearts. In the background, bodies of organ-donors hang from abattoir rails: the heart of the left one is labelled "Whites only". Philip Blaiberg, Barnard's second heart-tranplant recipient, sits with a smug expression in a glass case labelled "Exhibit B": "the fact that the recipIent was a Jew and the donor a "Coloured" man by South African standards was of course irrelevant except to the political troublemakers" (The Times, 18 August 1969). Behind Barnard, a monster composed of various organs and appliances is labelled "Do it yourself body kit". Right, paparazzi with cameras, and a white woman with prominent transplanted breasts
