Medical Perspective

Viewing and analyzing fine art from a medical perspective increases our appreciation of the artist’s suffering and teaches an important lesson of the human aspects of medicine. Paul Klee (1879–1940), one of the most influential artists of the 20th century, died at the age of 60 from complications of systemic sclerosis (scleroderma). In this second, in a series of clinical vignettes, I discuss the musculoskeletal manifestations of systemic sclerosis and how they may have influenced the life and art of Paul Klee.

Potential Factors

Paul Klee (1879–1940), one of the most influential artists of the 20th century, died at 60 years of age from complications of systemic sclerosis (scleroderma). The precipitating event(s) of Klee’s scleroderma, as in most cases, will never be known. Among various potential factors, exposure to heavy metals, crystalline silica, and organic solvents—acting alone or in combination—can now be considered potential factors in the onset of Klee’s disease. By altering and modulating epigenetic determinants in a genetically susceptible host, these and other environmental factors may have led to perturbations of self-tolerance and inflammation culminating in Klee’s scleroderma.

Historical Figure

Paul Klee (1879-1940) is undoubtedly the most notable historical figure to have suffered from systemic sclerosis (scleroderma). In this, the first in a series of vignettes on Klee's illness, I will explore a likely early feature of his condition - Raynaud phenomenon. In subsequent vignettes I will highlight other features of Klee's condition.

Paul Klee (1879–1940), the 20th century Swiss-German artist, suffered and died from complications of systemic sclerosis (SSc, scleroderma). In a series of clinical and historical vignettes the various symptoms and complications of Klee’s scleroderma are described. Here, I present evidence of Klee’s multiple gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms and the significant impact they had on the quality of his life.

Paul Klee represents one of the pillars of avant-garde art of the early 20th century. He produced an enormous amount of artistic works in the sixty years of his life. Systemic sclerosis appeared five years before he died, but this did not reduce his creative activity. This article analyzes his life and his illness that so influenced his work and that is a paradigmatic example of resilience in the face of adversity.

Background:Patients with systemic sclerosis positive for anti-U1RNP have special clinical picture and disease progression. The autoimmune profile in this group is poorly understood.Objectives:The purpose of our work was to study the level of major autoantibodies in patients with systemic sclerosis positive for anti-U1RNP.Methods:The study included 80 patients (71 women and 9 men, mean age 44,5±14 years) positive for antibodies to RNP and meeting the criteria of the systemic sclerosis (ACR/EULAR 2013). Patients were examined for autoantibodies: RF, ACCP, ACA, anti-Scl70, anti-RNAP-III, anti-Ro, anti-La, anti-dsDNA, anti-Sm, ACL, anti-Jo1. 44 patients were examined in dynamics in 24 months.Results:In the study group the clinical picture was dominated by inflammatory musculoskeletal lesions (synovitis and myopathy), skin manifestations were poorly expressed. Interstitial lung disease was detected in 68% of cases. Overlaps (34%) with other rheumatic diseases (rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus) and combination with Sjogren’s syndrome (32.5%) were frequently noted. Other antibodies were often detected: commonly - RF (31%), anti-Ro (38%), anti-dsDNA (42%), rarely - anti-Sm (11%), ACCP (8%), anti-La (8%), ACA (6%), anti-Scl70 (6%), AKL (2%). Anti-Jo1 and anti-RNAP-III were not detected at all. In patients with systemic sclerosis highly-positive for anti-U1RNP (more than 2 upper normal limits) RF, anti-Ro, anti-dsDNA were significantly more common in comparison with low-positive(p=0.00). In dynamics 80% of patients maintained anti-U1RNP, while other autoantibodies were detected with the same frequency. In patients with initially low titer of anti-U1RNP, their disappearance was noted.Conclusion:Patients with systemic sclerosis positive for anti-U1RNP differ in the predominance of inflammatory musculoskeletal manifestations and frequent combination with Sjogren’s syndrome and overlaps. Highly positivity for anti-U1RNP is accompanied by a persistent increase in RF, anti-Ro, anti-dsDNADisclosure of Interests:None declared

Born in Kirkuk, Iraq, Atta Sabri was among the pioneer generation of Iraqi modern artists with careers peaking in the mid-20th century. He was an active exhibitor and participant in several burgeoning art groups. After being educated and employed as a teacher in Baghdad, Sabri joined many of his peers in studying art abroad, first in Rome at the Accademia di Belle Arti and then, after World War II, in London at Goldsmith College and the Slade School. During the years of the war, Sabri held a job at the Department of Antiquities in Baghdad. After completing his studies, the artists again took up teaching this time at the Baghdadi Institute of Fine Art. Over the course of his career, Sabri became a founding member of the Society of the Friends of Art and a member of the Society of Iraqi Plastic Arts. His exhibition record includes the seminal Industrial and Agricultural Fair in 1931 and the 1950 First Iraqi Art Show in London. Sabri also exhibited extensively at the National Museum of Modern Art in Baghdad and in 1979 the museum held a retrospective of the artist’s oeuvre.

The article highlights the process of incipience of Ukrainian fine art in Canada. During the second half of the 20th century the Ukrainian diaspora created its own art and multiplied traditional Ukrainian art. Unfortunately, the achievements of the Ukrainian diaspora as a rule aren’t well-known to Ukrainian scientific community. The names of these people have filled up the treasury of spiritual values not only in Ukraine or Canada, but worldwide. Ukrainian artists from Canada have created artistic values reflecting the progress of the world’s fine art and have retained the best traditions of native schools. The article contains information about such organizations as the Ukrainian Association of visual artists of Canada, the Ukrainian-Canadian Art Foundation, the Alberta Council for Ukrainian Art. The article also highlights life and artistic journey of V. Kurilyk, M. Dmitrenko, Leo Mol, G. Novakivska, O. Lesyuk, M. Antoniv.

In 2021 the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts Research Library will move from its historical setting into a new building as part of a new House of Text. This House of Text is faced with the challenge of adapting a former early 20th-century apartment house (never before used as a museum or a library) to the needs of an institution that collects and conserves books on fine art and makes them accessible to the public in multiple ways.
