The final one from last year's visit to the National Portrait Gallery of Scotland, and one of my top ten... the blurb on the gallery write-up tells you something of the artist's intention here, but your eyes will also bring you to the conclusion that these guys, amazing as their work is, must carry a burden...
That is an amazing painting with insight into the surgeons' work and hopes.
ReplyDeleteAmazing painting, Glad to read about Three Oncologists, Great.
ReplyDeleteWhoa, I would love to meet those docs...they look sad and burdened by the heaviness of the work they are doing. Having had my own experiences with two oncologists...I know that burden too well...
ReplyDeleteYes, Yam, you have brought a very poignant paianting here. Three men who are healers and yet face death constantly. They are standing in an uneasy space where science meets mortality. And the artist has conveyed the idea rather menacingly.
