Notebook of daily reading notes, personal reflections on the relationship between Science and Art, with references and dates.<\/p>\n
The neurologist Paul Richer (1849-1933), a pupil and collaborator of Professor Charcot, was a skilled draughtsman, engraver and sculptor. He became head of the laboratory at the Clinique des maladies du syst\u00e8me nerveux created by Charcot. He was also the author of numerous drawings of patients suffering from nervous diseases, which he used to illustrate his own works and those of Charcot, such as the Nouvelle Iconographie de la Salp\u00e9tri\u00e8re.<\/p>\n
He was also interested in the relationship between art and medicine, as he explains in the preface to his book L’Art et la M\u00e9decine<\/i>: “Un jour, notre illustre et v\u00e9n\u00e9r\u00e9 ma\u00eetre, le professeur Charcot, visitant \u00e0 G\u00eanes, l’\u00e9glise Saint-Ambroise, s’arr\u00eatait saisi \u00e0 la vue d’une peinture de Rubens repr\u00e9sentant une sc\u00e8ne d’exorcisme. Il \u00e9tait frapp\u00e9 du spectacle que lui offrait la poss\u00e9d\u00e9e, tableau criant de v\u00e9rit\u00e9 et paraissant emprunt\u00e9 trait pour trait aux sc\u00e8nes convulsives qui se passaient journellement dans son service de la Salp\u00e9tri\u00e8re…Tel fut le point de d\u00e9part de nos communes recherches m\u00e9dico-artistiques sur la “grande n\u00e9vrose”. Elles furent consign\u00e9es dans un ouvrage sp\u00e9cial :Les d\u00e9moniaques dans l’art… Plus tard j’avais fond\u00e9 une publication p\u00e9riodique, la Nouvelle Iconographie de la Salp\u00e9tri\u00e8re [dans lequel] une large place a toujours \u00e9t\u00e9 r\u00e9serv\u00e9e \u00e0 la critique scientifique des \u0153uvres d’art ayant quelques rapport avec la m\u00e9decine”.<\/p>\n
The note-book mention his reading books of Renan, Gautier, Rousseau and various books on art history and aesthetics; he was particularly interested in Ingres, whose biography by Delaborde, l’Atelier d’Ingres.<\/i> He was also interested in photography and more particularly in the artistic representation of movement based on the work of Marey.<\/p>\n
