Alexander Aramburo Maldonado (Mexican/American 1901-1989)
'John C, Fletcher Hospital
The Right to Die'
Oil on canvas
Signed, dated l/r 1988
20in.x 24in (51cm. x 61cm)
Framed: 29in. x 24in (74n. x 64cm)
Maldonado is fascinated with astronomy and the technology of the future. He envisions the possibility of high-speed transit via rocket-powered vehicles traveling through underground tubes. His work is also characterized by his use of symmetry, multiple spatial references, and captions that help clarify the subject of the painting.
The subject of the painting, Dr. John C. Fletcher, helped establish the field of bioethics, and was eventually named the chief ethics officer of the National Institutes of Health's Clinical Center. With sociologist Dorothy Wertz, he conducted two international surveys, one in 1985-86 and one in 1995, of medical geneticists and their approaches to ethical problems in screening, counseling and prenatal diagnosis.
