Curatorial RemarksThese drawings were done by Jamie Wyeth under the guidance of Robert Demarest, the then Director of the Center for Biomedical Communications, who gave Jamie access to the cadavers at the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Columbia Medical Center in 1965-66. They were done at the time when Jamie was preparing to paint his painting of Lincoln Kerstein in 1965.
