In an August 8 interview, Calne said, “I’ve never not painted and drawn, but I became much more interested in what I tried to do with the painting when I had an English artist as a liver transplant patient, John Bellany. In the ICU, when he came off the ventilator, he asked for paints and paper. He couldn’t lift his head. He had to use a mirror to paint himself. He did 60 paintings of himself recovering from the liver transplant in three weeks and filled his room. He gave me some lessons, and we became friends. Once, he painted himself in the image of St. Sebastian, being tortured by surgeons. In one of the lessons, he painted me and I painted him. My perception of him and his perception of himself were so different that I thought it would be a very interesting subject to paint my patients. We used to do a lot of transplants of livers in children, and I found that children rather liked the process of image making and could join in . . . we would color the paintings together and criticize each other’s drawings.”
