書與醫 — 一位腦科醫生的視點 Paintings and Medicine   古今中外，很多畫家被貼上怪人或天才的標籤，一切難以理解的事情，都被簡單地歸結為他們異於常人。但事實上，他們和一般人的分別，除了優秀的藝術天份外，也許只是比我們多患了幾種疾病。某些畫家的作品特別傾向某種顔色、某種構圖，除了拜出眾的藝術創造力所賜，也可能是因為他們身患眼疾，看的世界和常人不同，才造就了獨特的風格；某些畫家的作品擁有扣人心弦的感染力，這固然是畫家的鬼斧神工，但也可能是因為他們身心已經傷痕累累，顧影自憐，唯有把深沉的情緒抒發在畫；又例如，畫家的一些奇異行為，普通人以為只是鬼才特有的出位舉動，但原來可能是憂鬱病或精神病的蛛絲馬跡。 黃震遐醫生是香港大學內科名譽教授。他同時也是一位業餘的藝術愛好者和評論者。本書(三聯書店，2014)從醫學的角度出發，抽絲剝繭，探討顏料和畫筆背後的真相，為鑑賞名家名畫增添一個新的角度。
