Brooks Complex Exhibitions

• Celebrating the Artwork of Frank Netter: Surgeon and Master of Medical Illustration

Dr. Frank H. Netter (1906-1991), was a physician and medical illustrator whose works became standard reference materials in medical school libraries around the world.  Often referred to as “the Norman Rockwell of Medicine”, Dr. Netter was an artist who became a physician and then combined both his passions into one distinguished career. During his lifetime he produced more than 4,000 renderings of human anatomy, physiology and pathology. He illustrated the first open heart surgical operations, the first organ transplants and the first replacements of human joints. Among his works were “The Ciba Collection of Medical Illustrations,” 13 volumes covering the anatomy, physiology and pathology of all the systems in the human body. “The Ciba Collection” has been translated into German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and Japanese and is widely used in medical schools worldwide. More than three million copies have been sold, commonly referred to as his “Sistine Chapel”. Learn about the life of this accomplished artist and view some of his work on display in the Brooks Complex, First Floor display case through the barrel vault.

From personal collection of Dr. Dana Harriger

• An Undersea Journey: Digital Photography of Linda Erkelens, ’64

Hankey Center

• Alumnae/i Art Exhibition

This exhibition opened August 26, and provides a venue for Wilson alumnae/i to share their work with the community.

Other participants discovered their passion and skill long after leaving their alma-mater. Like most open calls for entry, the exhibit will feature drawings, paintings, prints, ceramics, photographs and mixed-media artwork with a wide array of subject matter and content.  Refreshments will be available throughout the day.

The exhibit, presented by Wilson’s Department of Fine Arts and Dance, Office of Alumnae/i Relations, and C. Elizabeth Boyd Archives, will continue through December 6, in the Hankey Center.

Color by Number and Color Algorithm

Sponsored by  Alpha Delta Theta Math Club

9:00am – 3:00pm

Butterfly Art Project

Lenfest Commons Lobby

“Just when the caterpillar thought her life was over, she became a butterfly.”  Mirroring this quote, the journey from victim of intimate partner or sexual violence to survivor has sometimes been described as “transformative.”   Many have described it as an “awakening” or even a “metamorphosis.”   Celebrate a survivor or a personal journey to transformation by designing your own butterfly.  Completed butterflies will be assembled and displayed on the Wilson campus.

10:00am – 10:50am

Boundaries Fashion Show

Lenfest Commons Lobby

Catherine Green ’13 will reprise her thesis project fashion show from last spring during lunch on October 2 in Lenfest Lobby. The clothing transforms unconventional, masculinized materials into highly feminine works of wearable art that critique the imposition of the male dominated fashion industry onto framework of the female body.  The result is an over the top, high fashion silhouette that is aesthetically pleasing and mystifying.  Read about the project and the clothes at: http://www.publicopiniononline.com/news/ci_23192037/wilson-college-student-maps-her-way-innovative-project
