Here is a NY Times review of the drawings of one of my favorite neurobiologists, Santiago Ramón y Cajal.
If I lived nearby New York, I would go and see it.

My favorite line from the review:
"The drawings will elicit stupefied awe from art enthusiasts, who use their brains without knowing how they work".

He was quite interesting and his autobiography is worth reading (some university libraries may have it).
He and Golgi got Nobel prizes at the same time. Golgi for developing the Golgi technique, Cajal for his use of it. They had a strong dislike for each other.
