HEALTH AND ART WEDNESDAYS AT SAN GIUSEPPE HOSPITAL - 2017 Edition April 12, 2017 – Hands, Feet, Head: When Sweat Becomes Illness & Liquid Mind: From Turner to Pascali. At the fourth Health Wednesday meeting in collaboration with the Brera Academy of Fine Arts, water was the central theme of the presentations by Dr. Matteo Incarbone, Director of the Thoracic Surgery Unit at San Giuseppe Hospital, and Professor Roberto Casiraghi, Department of Visual Arts, Brera Academy. We discussed hyperhidrosis, the excessive secretion of sweat compared to normal, understanding its causes and possible treatments, from "supportive" ones like deodorants to "eliminative" ones like surgery. At the same time, we discovered how several artists, such as Turner and Pascali, use water as an artistic element, both painted and as a material.
