Notebook of reading notes, personal reflections on the relationship between Science and Art, thrown in from day to day, with references and dates.<\/p>\n
The neurologist Paul Richer (1849-1933), a pupil and collaborator of Professor Charcot, was a skilled draughtsman, engraver and sculptor. He became head of the laboratory at the Clinique des maladies du système nerveux created by Charcot. He was also the author of numerous drawings of patients suffering from nervous diseases, which he used to illustrate his own works and those of Charcot, such as the Nouvelle Iconographie de la Salpétrière.<\/p>\n
He was also interested in the relationship between art and medicine, as he explains in the preface to his book L'Art et la Médecine<\/em>: "Un jour, notre illustre et vénéré maître, le professeur Charcot, visitant à Gênes, l'église Saint-Ambroise, s'arrêtait saisi à la vue d'une peinture de Rubens représentant une scène d'exorcisme. Il était frappé du spectacle que lui offrait la possédée, tableau criant de vérité et paraissant emprunté trait pour trait aux scènes convulsives qui se passaient journellement dans son service de la Salpétrière…Tel fut le point de départ de nos communes recherches médico-artistiques sur la "grande névrose". Elles furent consignées dans un ouvrage spécial :Les démoniaques dans l'art… Plus tard j'avais fondé une publication périodique, la Nouvelle Iconographie de la Salpétrière [dans lequel] une large place a toujours été réservée à la critique scientifique des œuvres d'art ayant quelques rapport avec la médecine".<\/p>\n The note-book mention his reading books of Renan, Gautier, Rousseau and various books on art history and aesthetics; he was particularly interested in Ingres, whose biography by Delaborde, l'Atelier d'Ingres.<\/em> He was also interested in photography and more particularly in the artistic representation of movement based on the work of Marey.<\/p>\n Interesting autograph notebook.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Small 4to (188 x 147 mm) autograph manuscript on paper, 40 nn.ll.
