Abstract

In dermatology, there is a small cohort of luminaries who stand out for their contributions to our specialty. Irwin M. Braverman is one such individual, who has made significant contributions to our understanding of skin signs of systemic disease, the ultrastructure of cutaneous vasculature, and the use of art visual interpretation as a tool to teach clinical observation skills. This contribution provides a brief overview of Irwin's career and the individuals and experiences that led him to become a pillar of dermatology.
