Francine Netter
Francine Netter, author of Medicine’s Michelangelo: The Life & Art of Frank H. Netter, MD, will discuss and sign her book at the UC San Diego Bookstore.
Frank Netter was both a doctor and artist whose genius was such that he not only grasped the most complex medical concepts, he could make drawings that made those concepts clear to others. Beginning in the mid-20th Century, his books of illustrations -- 13 atlases and over 200 pamphlets -- educated doctors and healthcare professionals the world over. His award-winning Atlas of Human Anatomy is today the most popular and bestselling anatomy atlas in the English language.
Medicine’s Michelangelo, written by his daughter, Francine Netter, is the first biography of this illustrious figure revered by generations of students of medicine.
