This is the latest volume in the acclaimed series that depicts medicine as depicted in art throughout history. This sumptuously illustrated volume offers a visual history of the depiction of illness and healing in Western culture, ranging from Egyptian wall carvings to medieval manuscripts and from paintings and sculpture by the great masters of the Renaissance to 20th century artists such as Matisse & Magritte. Thematic chapters cover the examination of patients and their maladies, healing and medical treatments, and the sufferings and hopes of patients awaiting cure and recovery. Psychological anguish, represented by Masaccio's The Expulsion of Adam and Eve, and Munch's The Scream, are also treated along with more obvious physical manifestations.

To create this coloring book, from the original 1941 book, The Art of Caricaturing, by Mitchell Smith, we've taken a selection of illustrated plates for you to put your own stamp on. Smith's aim was to produce a concise treatise on the art of caricaturing and he included many caricatures of famous men of the day. Not all the plates are suitable for coloring, so we've added some vintage advertising images to make 46 pages of illustrations in all. Each illustrated page has a blank back side so you can cut them out and not be concerned about bleed-through.

A delightful collection of sumptuous pencil figure drawings of the male nude by artist Greg Fox, (best known for being the artist/writer of the syndicated comic strip "Kyle's Bed & Breakfast"). Drew Danvers, a popular character in the comic strip, is the male figure depicted in these drawings, although he's never before been seen in such detail and full-frontal state of undress as he is throughout this book. The pencil drawings are impressively reproduced, (many look as if they are the actual original penciled artwork), and are quite worthy of framing. In fact, included in the book is a helpful guide for page removal along with framing instructions. Also included is a background story of the Drew Danvers character, charting his humble beginnings growing up on a peach orchard in Alabama through his arrival and dramatic storyline at Kyle's B&B, (with a number of panels from the comic strip). And there's even a 3-page "message" from Drew Danvers himself, along with his Mama's Alabama peach pie recipe You certainly don't need to know a thing about "Kyle's B&B" to enjoy this book... it's for anyone who has a fondness for quality, classical style figure drawings of the male nude.
