Lecture
Santiago Ramón y Cajal: The Artist as Scientist
In conjunction with the exhibition The Beautiful Brain: The Drawings of Santiago Ramón y Cajal
Eric Himmel, Editor-in-Chief of Abrams Books and Beautiful Brain catalogue essayist, will trace Cajal’s path from a failed provincial artist through his midlife encounter with neuroscience—which inspired his revolutionary drawings based in new forms and new concepts.
