Noted medical illustrator Gerald Hodge dies at 91

DETROIT (AP) — Gerald Parker Hodge, a pioneering, world-renowned medical illustrator and fine artist who specialized in “fool the eye” paintings, has died at his home in Michigan, his daughter said. He was 91.

Hodge died Thursday in Ann Arbor after a fight with cancer, said his daughter and caretaker, Melinda Hodge of Lock Haven, Pa. He was a longtime professor at the University of Michigan, where he founded the master’s program in medical and biological illustration in 1964.

His medical and biological illustrations appeared in hundreds of journals and books and won repeated recognition from the Association of Medical Illustrators.
