Please join us for a lecture and discussion with Francis Arena, M.D., and Tanya Bastianich Manuali, Ph.D., authors of Reflections of the Breast: Breast Cancer in Art through the Centuries. Reflections of the Breast isn’t another cancer book. It is the triumph of the human experience. It is the story of every woman. It is the incredible insight and brilliance of countless artists who told the story of all those who have suffered from this disease and documented and possibly foretold the development of the therapies that we have today. It tells a story not just in words like other books but uses the images of artists like Michelangelo, Rubens, Raphael, Eakins and the modern day artist who are also the patients and the survivors. Lidia Bastianich, host of the PBS Series Lidia’s Italy, says, “This beautiful and informative book is a tribute to all of those who fought this battle, but especially to the survivors…an extraordinary book for living today.” For more information about the book and its authors, please visit www.reflectionsofthebreast.com.
