series, affectionately known as the “green books.” tradition, has particular appreciation for the “green
book” series: “The Reproductive System is of special sig-
nificance for those who, like me deeply admire Dr. Netter’s
work. In this volume, he masters the representation of tex-
tures of different surfaces, which I like to call ‘the rhythm of
the brush,’ since it is the dimension, the direction of the
strokes and the interval separating them that create the illu-
sion of given textures: organs have their external surfaces,
the surfaces of their cavities, and texture of their parenchy-
mas realistically represented. It set the style for the subsequent
volumes of Netter’s Collection, each an amazing combination
of painting masterpieces and precise scientific information.”
Though the science and teaching of medicine endures
changes in terminology, practice, and discovery, some
things remain the same. A patient is a patient. A teacher
is a teacher. And the pictures of Dr. Netter—he called
them pictures, never paintings—remain the same blend
of beautiful and instructional resources that have guided
physicians’ hands and nurtured their imaginations for
over half a century.
The original series could not exist without the dedi-
cation of all those who edited, authored, or in other
ways contributed, nor, of course, without the excellence
of Dr. Netter. For this exciting second edition, we also
owe our gratitude to the authors, editors, Advisors, and
artists whose relentless efforts were instrumental in Dr. Carlos Machado at work.
