[Harvey Cushing: neurosurgeon and artist].

Harvey Cushing was a man of many talents. He was a skilled, surgeon, scientist, author and bibliophile. In addition, he was an accomplished artist for both medical non-medical subjects. In this paper, we present three surgical drawings of Dr Cushing's that are representative of the nearly one hundred drawings we have thus far found with his operative notes in the Peter Bent Brigham Archives. We will also discuss Cushing's non-medical art, some of the best of which is of the French countryside.
