Art & Fear

Observations on the Perils (and Rewards) of Artmaking

by David Bayles, Ted Orland ...

"This is a book about making art. Ordinary art. Ordinary art means something like: all art not made by Mozart. After all, art is rarely made by Mozart-like people; essentially—statistically speaking—there aren't any people like that. Geniuses get made once-a-century or so, yet good art gets made all the time, so to equate the making of art with the workings of genius removes this intimately human ... Read more

藏在名畫裡的醫學史：從藝術作品窺探西方醫學的演進與傳承

by 李明蒼 ...

沒有麻醉的手術室、擁擠紊亂的產房、瘟疫肆虐的街道與精神疾病患者孤寂的身影……畫布的光影之下，是病患面對傷病最真實的模樣。二十幅名畫中，病人的不安、疼痛與期待之下，都藏著醫者仁心的身影。本書以橫跨十五至二十世紀的藝術畫作為起點，透過臨床醫師的視角重新探索名畫中被忽略的細節，蒼白的臉色、僵硬的肢體等一一呈現了醫學發展未臻完善時的醫療現場。引領我們看見外科手術如何從粗糙手法走向科學，解剖學如何改寫人類對身體構造的理解；進一步觀察婦產科在危機中進化，精神醫學在誤解裡尋找秩序；同時體會到疫病如何影響城市與社會的整體發展。每一幅畫作都是醫學進步的縮影，是生死之間留下的證據。歷代藝術家以畫筆記錄下患者的恐懼，醫師們則拚盡全力將其化為被治癒的可能。藝術與醫療並非兩條平行線，交會之處共同訴說著人們努力求生的歷史。 ...
