Críticas
"Like a work of art, a medical image or a piece of medical paraphernalia has a period style. This is not simply a surface gloss, a decorative mode that stands in a superficial relationship to the true function of the item. Function and the 'look' of something are not separate, since any action is hedged around by attitudes, hostile and approbatory, and our instinctive visual reaction to any item in a field as highly charged as medicine will be an integral part of the social field within which participants function."--from the foreword by Martin Kemp " ... a warm welcome is due to this catalogue of an exhibition ... of medical art housed in various medical faculties and museums in the region of Duke University... the catalogue is a testament to the astonishing wealth of rare and exquisite materials that have found their way across the Atlantic and are evidently ebing expertly curated...this is an exemplary publication. Its is agreeably designed, the quality of the colour reproduction is high, the accompanying texts are pertinent and factually accurate, and there is a helpful bibliography...The book is eye opening and instructive, and makes one regret having missed the exhibition."--Roy Porter, The Times Highers Education Supplement, 24 November, 2000
Reseña del editor
From early times, artists have been involved in the life and work of the physician in a variety of ways. Members of the medical professions have, in their turn, been central in shaping the visual canon of their profession, from the grandiose drama of the corpse anatomy theater to the intricately worked ivory and metal tools of their trade. "The Physician's Art" celebrates the diversity and achievements of such collaborations, looking beyond the traditional boundaries of art to the books and artifacts used by physicians since the fifteenth century and inviting us to ponder their role and that of medicine in the culture of their time and our own.Published as a companion catalogue to an exhibit of more than one hundred rare and remarkable medical art" objects that was curated by Julie V. Hansen at the Duke University Museum of Art, this richly illustrated book includes an introductory essay by distinguished art historian Martin Kemp. Demonstrating how the practice of medicine and our understanding of disease and the human body have gone hand in hand with the development of techniques in art - combined with such inventions as the camera and the microscope - this book presents works that range from the fifteenth century to the twentieth, from Europe to the Far East and Africa, from detailed medical illustrations to photographs of ivory manikins and an amputation saw.
