Since 1964, beginning with a reproduction of Jan van Eycke's St
Jerome in His Study, the front cover of JAMA: The Journal of the
American Medical Association has featured full-color images of
renowned works of fine art as well as many lesser-known gems.
Vincent van Gogh, Claude Monet, Winslow Homer, Mary Cassatt, and
hundreds of other artists have graced the covers of this eminent
medical journal. For the past four decades, these images have been
selected by JAMA senior contributing editor Dr. M. Therese
Southgate, who writes marvelous accompanying essays exploring the
background of the artist and the circumstances under which the work
was completed, followed by astute commentary on the work itself.
These engaging articles have been regularly rated as one of the
top-read sections in JAMA by readers throughout the world.
In this third volume of The Art of JAMA, Dr. Southgate brings
together a new selection of 100 wonderful covers. Each painting is
displayed in a two-page spread, with Dr. Southgate's essay on the
work on the facing page. The volume includes works by Marc Chagall,
Leonardo da Vinci, James Ensor, Paul Gauguin, Frida Kahlo, Rene
Magritte, Edouard Manet, Edvard Munch, Georgia O'Keeffe, Rembrandt
van Rijn, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Vincent van Gogh, and many
more. And, of course, Dr. Southgate also includes less famous
artists, treating readers to the pleasure of unexpected discovery.
Lavishly illustrated, exquisitely designed, and printed on
high-quality paper, The Art of JAMA is a beautiful book that will
be a perfect graduation present from medical school and an
excellent gift for physicians, other health care professionals, art
historians, and anyone interested in art and medicine."
