War
Art & Surgery, the exhibition, is about to enter its final two
weeks at the Hunterian Museum, The Royal College of Surgeons of
England, London WC2A 3PE, for full details see below:- "War Art & Surgery"
is a World War 1 centenary project which
refers to the archive of Henry Tonks' First
World War pastel portraits which record the pioneering facial reconstruction of
wounded soldiers by surgeon Harold Gillies.
As a response to the Tonks pastels over 150 drawings have been produced representing military surgeons in training and the rehabilitation of recently wounded soldiers on their road to recovery.
The
drawings reflect the training and expertise of clinicians and the
heroism of those who survived life-changing injuries.
The project exhibition War Art & Surgery can be seen at
The Hunterian Museum, The Royal College of Surgeons of England,
35 - 43 Lincoln's Inn Fields, London WC2A 3PE until February 14th 2015.
The accompanying publication "War, Art and Surgery: Rehabilitation and Reconstruction in the work of Henry Tonks and Julia Midgley"
edited by Samuel J.M.M. Alberti, is now available.
