Max Thorek (March 10, 1880 – January 25, 1960) was born in Hungary. His family emigrated to Chicago where Thorek finished his medical degree at Rush Medical College in 1904. Thorek worked in obstetrics, general, and reconstructive surgery. His innovative techniques and practices are still widely used in surgery today.

He founded the International College of Surgeons in 1935 and the International Museum of Surgical Science in a Chicago Gold Coast mansion in 1954. Dr. Thorek was also the founder of Thorek Memorial Hospital, still in operation in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood.^[1]

Thorek wrote an autobiography entitled A Surgeon's World in 1943, which has been transcribed in full and is available on the internet. Thorek was also an internationally acclaimed amateur photographer during the pictorialist movement, and author of several books on the subject, including Camera Art as a Means of Self-Expression (1947) and Creative Camera Art (1937).

Thorek died in Chicago on January 25, 1960.

Louis Linck (1895 – 1962) was born in Paris, and emigrated to the United States in 1926. During his lifetime of sculpting he worked for a number of private clients as well as the WPA (during the Depression), and the International College of Surgeons. His most accessible work is a number of larger-than-life statues permanently on display at the International Museum of Surgical Science in Chicago.

French Countryside Collection

French countryside will blossom at Field's January 27, 2002

Marshall Field's French Countryside Shops, a new and special feature of 64 of its stores from March through early May, will be kicked off with a personal appearance by European artist Isabelle de Borchgrave March 21 through 23, 2002.

The Brussels graphics, clothing and textile designer is most famous for her historical dresses made of paper, dubbed "Papiers a la Mode." Now she is doing home accents, creating an exclusive to Field's collection of dinnerware, serving pieces, vases and other decorative accessories, such as paper vases and hatbox sets, in delicate floral patterns.

De Borchgrave's appearance is both the official launch for this collection and the French Countryside "tour." Shoppers will be able to have their purchases signed by the artist at either the State Street or Water Tower stores, exact times to be announced.
