Book Description,
Léon Dorn is one of the most famous medical illustrators in the world. Even today, at 80 years of age, he continues to pursue his work with the same enthusiasm. His work coincides with his great passion: the representation of the human body. Anatomy holds no secrets for him. He has spent countless hours in operating theatres, dissecting rooms and with himself; when Léon Dorn is drawinghands, he is drawing his own hands ...
Dorn is specially involved in the illustration of surgical techniques, which is probably the most
difficult part of the art of medical illustration since the illustrator must attend surgical operations to understand what exactly is being done and then distil a long procedure into a few drawings. Usually, no more than five to seven drawings are needed to illustrate a surgical technique.The skill and possibly the genius of the artist lies in their ability to condense multiple operating stages into a limited number of drawings.
