Hello and many thanks for your suggestion about Frank Netter. But unfortunately I'm convinced that the vast majority of my viewers would have very limited interest in medical illustration as a topic.

All right, who's been stealing the Tardis or the Waybak? That 1941 poster with the three men hoisting the Christmas tree -- was the photographer who took that iconic shot of raising the flag at Iwo Jima a couple years later familiar with Mauzan? And the Bilz orange coming unraveled near the end of your video -- just so evocative of that picture Escher did of himself and his wife!
@petebeard5 ай бұрын
Well, of course both might be coincidental, and it seems unlikely that the American photographer (can't remember his name) would have been aware of Mauzan as he never appeared in the USA. The Escher print is apparently 1956 so whether he knew it or not he was standing on the shoulders of an earlier giant. And Mauzan was a surrealist even before the name had been used for painting.
