About
Lecture delivered by Brian Dolan PhD, Professor and Chair in the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences at UCSF. The talk will cover background on how Carol and Orlo Clark's book "The Remarkables" came to be published with the UC Health Humanities Press and how it relates to his research interests in the history of scientific printing, particularly involving technologies of color printing. The book explores visual evidence of endocrine disease in art throughout history. Art and medicine are kindred spirits, each a blend of science and intuition, seeking to understand the human condition. Where medicine heals the body, art heals the soul, together enriching the tapestry of human experience.
