"Thomas Rowlandson and the Anatomists: A Further Look at the Dissecting Room Drawings"
FRIDAY, March 27, 2009, 5:00—6:00 PM
Susan Wheeler is Curator of Prints and Drawings, Cushing/Whitney Medical Library at Yale University. She has spent her professional career at Yale, much of it associated with the Medical Historical Collections where she has researched and documented the collection of prints and drawings, overseen an early conservation program, and is currently expanding the collection through an active acquisition initiative. She is the author of Five Hundred Years of Medicine in Art, an illustrated catalogue of the Clements C. Fry Collection of prints and drawings at the library published in 2001. In conjunction with the Yale School of Medicine's Program for the Humanities in Medicine, she introduces medical and nursing students to art in the history of medicine through discussions of illustrated books, prints, and objects in the Library's collections.
The 2009 George Rosen Lecture "Thomas Rowlandson and the Anatomists: A Further Look at the Dissecting Room Drawings" commemorates Dr. Rosen's interest in art as a medium to be mined for historical information and his pursuit of art as a personal avocation. The lecture will highlight works from the Yale Medical Historical Collections which will be on view.
