OPERATIONS NOW

Woman Artist Sees New
Dress Designs in Odd
Hospital Career.
By the Associated Press,

CHICAGO. July 3l.-Today per-
sons no longer need tell OF their op-
erations. They can present color por-
traits of them instead
Reactions OF friends to the draw
ings may vary Some might say, What
= lovely fower!" To which your naive
rejoinder would be, Why, that is my
kidney"
And, II you are \ woman, you might
add IN the same breath, Il am using
1t as a design for a new gown"
Authority for this trend In fad and
fashion possibilities is Mss Esther
Bohlman, who has sketched opera
tions In pencil and water colors for
six years and who now does colored
microscopic drawings for some Of the
departments OF the Biological Division
Of the University of Chicago.
Collects Designs for Books.
Some day" said the trim, 30-year-
old blond artist, Il expect to publish
book for the use OF designers. The
book, she said, would include exam
pies OF the exquisite coloring, shapes
and designs suggested by some Of her
anatomical drawings.
She already has tested the practi-
cability Of the idea, using the flower
like pattern supplied by kidney
sketch As design for one OF her
dresses.
Chance maneuvered to alter the
career Of Miss Bohlman, who came to
Chicago in 1923 from Lincoln, Nebr.,
to study portrait painting.
Finances necessary to complete her
course At the art institute led to A lob
in the record department at Michael
Reese Hospital. A physicians casual
suggestion she try her talents at
drawing kidney specimen continued
the transition. Soon the operating
room became her studio, pathology
her subject.
Her work took her from Reese to
bone clinic in Tulsa, Okla, and back
to Reese. In that time she converted
more than 1000 incieions, diseased
tissues, orthopedis problems and sur
geons techniques to color drawings.
Since the time element and steril-
ization requirements combined to pre-
vent use OF brush and water color dur
ing An operation, Miss Bohlman ear
ried only pencil, eraser and illustra-
ton board into the operating room.
She converted the sketch into color
Immediately after, relying on notes
and memory In efYecting proper shad-
tngs.
Doctors Maintain Mystery
She acknowledged that frequently
she didn't know what she was draw
ing, but added the doctors tell me
that II knew too much, I would draw
the tissues as they are supposed to
look, instead OF as they actually are"
Brush and pencil supplanted the
camera, she said, because of the in
ability Of photography to catch the
proper perspective, detail and grada-
ton Of color.
Several Of her sketches, both black
and white and in color, have appeared
IN medical magazines. She said her
latest work would appear in \ medi-
