PEREZ ON MEDICINE: The Whimsical Art of Jose S. Perez
is a collection of 29 oil paintings, with commentary,
satirizing various aspects of modern medicine.
The Perez exhibit was one of the most popular exhibits ever mounted at
the NLM.
Perez' paintings are so rich in humorous detail that NLM added
two mechanisms to view details:
the viewer can retrieve pre-selected details,
or interact with the exhibit to specify a rectangular area of a canvas
that is enlarged "on-the-fly" and returned for viewing.
