David J Mascaro Teaching Gallery

Medical illustration is a visual profession with a rich history of artistic excellence. As a profession, we have a tradition of sharing our craft with each other and with students. Through the years, David J. Mascaro collected many outstanding and unique works of art by some of the best artists in both medical and commercial illustration. Max Brödel, Elizabeth Brödel, Gerald Hodge, Bob Demarest, Keith Kasnot, Rebekah Dodson, Russell Drake, Tom Jones, Stephen Gilbert, John Karapelou, Arthur Lidov, Paul Peck, Elizabeth Roselius, Will Sheperd and Bill Westwood are but a few of the artists represented in the collection. David collected, not to indulge some personal whim, but to better share with his students his deep appreciation and respect for the craft of illustration.

Musculature of the Back

"Musculature of the Back" by David J. Mascaro, rendered in watercolor, 3/4 life-size.

A gallery that educates, inspires, and motivates—what better learning environment can we provide for the future of our profession? We aimed to build upon David’s core collection and establish a permanent teaching gallery. In the spring of 2000, the program began a campaign to acquire original artworks from our alumni, the hundreds of talented and dedicated professionals who have earned degrees in medical illustration from our university. This teaching gallery serves our students, faculty, and alumni as an essential educational resource, a wellspring of inspiration, and a challenge to strive for excellence.

Study of the Back

"Study of the Back" (after David) by David J. Mascaro, rendered in opaque watercolor.

The David J. Mascaro Teaching Gallery was formally dedicated on August 16, 2000. With the ceremony, we recognized the value of art in the service of medicine. With the formal naming of the gallery, we honored the collector. David made this gallery possible. We thank him sincerely for his passion for medical illustration, his talent for teaching, and his pursuit of artistic excellence.
