I think they will go rather well with the fava beans, the big Barolo, and the census taker's liver

A good few years ago there was a late night programme of which I caught a few bits on no more than two occasions, in which a pathologist, maybe Austrian or German*, not really relevant but I remember his accent, dissected a cadaver for an audience. Complete dissection with the deceased person's body shown in its entirety before and after.

Those pictures would have gone well on the wall there.

Unsettling.

Very.
Though more sophisticated they are the sort of drawings one might find in an art therapy session, where a person (client) is trying to express hidden horrors in the hope of dealing with & expelling them. That is therapeutic but Laurie Lipton is not in art therapy. As far as I know.
