Quoting from Wikipedia about Roy Calne as a transplant surgeon and as an artist: Calne was "a British surgeon and pioneer in organ transplantation. He was part of the team that performed the first liver transplantation operation in Europe in 1968, the world's first liver, heart and lung transplantation in 1987, the first intestinal transplant in the UK in 1992 and the first successful combined stomach, intestine, pancreas, liver and kidney cluster transplantation in 1994. . . . Calne enjoyed drawing and painting from an early age. At school he was taught and encouraged by an art teacher Francis Russell Flint, son of the Scottish artist William Russell Flint. As a medical student in London he would regularly visit art galleries to copy the works of great masters. In 1988 he performed a liver transplant on the Scottish painter John Bellany, who began to paint self-portraits while still in intensive care and had completed 60 during his hospital stay. Bellany gave Calne painting lessons and the two became friends, painting portraits of each other. One of his portraits of Bellany was exhibited by the Royal Academy. Calne went on to paint some transplant patients, believing that it brought closeness and humanity to the surgeon-patient relationship, especially with children. An exhibition of his paintings entitled The Gift of Life was displayed at the Barbican in 1991.". Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 17348
