I have been asked by a student of medical illustration to inquire after
the names of artists who may have suffered Rheumatoid Arthritis.
I think Matisse did but I can't think of anyone else --
Thank you for your help with this matter,

Professor Ostrow,
I'm a medical illustration student in my fifth year here at CIA. My BFA
topic is "Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and the Hands of the Artist." I want
to analyze an artist's work over time and make correlations between his
artistic production and the progression (over years) of the arthritis.
