Betty Pat. Galtiff is an American pioneer in the field of forensic art and forensic facial reconstruction. Working closely with forensic anthropologist Dr. Clyde Snow, she has sculpturally reconstructed faces of individuals including the Pharaoh Tutankhamun, President John F. Kennedy, and the unidentified victims of serial killer John Wayne Gacy. == Biography == Gatliff resides in Norman, Oklahoma. She received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Oklahoma College for Women in 1951. She worked as a medical illustrator and technical illustrator for 27 years in the U.S. Civil service. She began a freelance career in 1979 as forensic sculptor, illustrator, and teacher.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://usao.edu/alumni/gatliff-betty-pat-1978 )〕 In 1967, anthropologist Dr. Clyde Snow and Gatliff worked at the Federal Aviation Administration in Oklahoma City. Snow recommended that Galtiff learn the techniques described in Wilton M. Krogman's book ''The Human Skeleton in Forensic Medicine'' (1962). Snow was able to identify the ancestry, gender and approximate age of a skull, while Gatliff used her art training to create a likeness of a face based on the skull and other scientific information. Working with Snow, Gatliff created a sculpture directly on the skull of an unidentified young man which led to his identification. The success of this early collaboration formed the foundation of the use of facial reconstruction from the skull in the United States. Together they developed the Gatliff/Snow American Tissue Depth Method. This method encompassed the work of other researchers which defines numerous "landmarks" on the skull and determines an average tissue depth for each location. In 1978, the United States House Select Committee on Assassinations began an investigation into the murder of President Kennedy. Gatliff created life-sized models of Kennedy's head for use in trajectory tests. Also in 1978, John Wayne Gacy was arrested for the serial killings of 33 young men and boys in Illinois. 29 individual remains were found in the crawl-space beneath Gacy's home, with 24 positively identified. Gatliff created the clay facial reconstructions of the other nine unidentified victims, with at least one positive identification, and five tentative.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20077016,00.html )〕 Working with Snow, Gatliff reconstructed the face of Tutankhamun which was featured in Life Magazine (1983) and National Geographic World (1985).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/17/us/clyde-snow-forensic-detective-who-found-clues-in-bones-dies-at-86.html )〕 Gatliff was a technical consultant on the television series Quincy, M.E.,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3326719 )〕 creating forensic art reconstructions for the show, in which her hands were featured sculpting.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20077016,00.html )〕 Gatliff also contributed her forensic art techniques to the film Gorky Park. Gatliff has taught her techniques at the FBI Academy, Scottsdale Artists' School in Arizona, Cleveland Institute of Art in Ohio, and the University of Oklahoma.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.forensicartist.com/IACI/education.html )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Betty Pat Gatliff」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
