| | The Quick and the Dead |
 | | The Quick and the Dead focuses on a range of artists, among them Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo Buonarroti, Albrecht Dürer, William Hogarth, George Stubbs, Théodore Géricault, Kiki Smith, Joel-Peter Witkin, and Cindy Sherman to show the great richness and complexity that can result when art and science intersect. |
 | | As The Quick and the Dead makes clear, the human body--symbolic and intimate, material and sacred--is a vital cultural resource and a site where various social constituencies find relevant meaning. |
 | | Deanna Petherbridge is Professor of Drawing at the Royal College of Art in London and Curator of the National Touring Exhibition from the Hayward Gallery exhibition of The Quick and the Dead. |
