Visceral viewing is guaranteed at The Quick and the Dead: Artists and
Anatomy, an exhibition which brings together drawings, paintings and sculpture
from the Renaissance to the present to illustrate the remarkable symbiotic
relationship between artists and anatomists. Not a Damien Hirst in sight and
highly recommended. At the Royal College of Art, London, until
26 November, then touring. Tel: 0171 590 4444.
