Publisher Description: The Quick and the Dead, Artists and Anatomy explores the imagery of anatomical illustration, ranging from the macabre to the fantastical and from exquisite fine drawings to extraordinary prints of self-flaying bodies. Such work is rarely seen outside scholarly circles. The Quick and the Dead focuses on around 90 artists, including Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo Buonarroti, Albrecht Durer, William Hogarth, George Stubbs, Theodore Gericault, Kiki Smith, Joel-Peter Witkin and Cindy Sherman, and includes essays by Deanna Petherbridge and Ludmilla Jordanova.
