The Physician's Art
Prepared in conjunction with an exhibition at the Duke University Museum of Art (November 1999 -- January 2000), this book showcases 59 pieces from four medical school collections. The (mostly) full-page reproductions feature objects such as surgical tools and ivory manikins, as well as a wide variety of anatomical illustrations; they range from Europe to the Far East and Africa, and from the 15th to the 20th century. The explanatory text is carefully written and, like the audience it will interest, reaches across the disciplines of art, history, and science. Hansen is an art historian researching art and science in 17th-century Amsterdam; Porter is curator of the Duke University Medical Center Library's History of Medicine Collections; and Martin Kemp (who wrote the foreword), is an art historian (Oxford U.) who has written extensively on the relationships between representation in art and science. The book is distributed by Duke U. Press. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
