Modernism's divorce from the human figure did not go unchallenged. The Ontario College of Art and Design maintained a very good fine arts program throughout those difficult years, with the option for drawing and painting students to study anatomy at the University of Toronto's Anatomy Museum and Dissecting Rooms. Anatomy was also discussed in relation to the notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci, Rembrandt's Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Tulp, and on to the Eakins master work The Gross Clinic.

The following drawings were executed at the University or Toronto's Anatomy Museum and Dissecting Rooms in 1982. The experience left a indelible effect on my approach to painting and the expression of realism (regardless of the subject).
