Chaney inspired Quasimodo - clay study

[Art Farmer]

Another clay study. I thought about this one for awhile. Tony Cipriano brought up a good point about Chaney's interpretation vs. Laughton's. Chaney's Hunchback is less sympatric than Laughton's. But then, Chaney's was very true to the character in the book. And certainly has his moment's I thought about doing him from early on the film where sticks his tongue out. But, in a clay study, to get it to mold would have been more trouble than it was worth. So, I went with this. I hope the expression can be read in a couple of different ways; frightened and confused or determined and challenging, both with a touch of pathos.

Anyway, I give you the Hunchback of Notre Dame.

You sir, are a geneous. Great expression. How big are these studies you're doing? And can you show us your technique for eyes. I have trouble with that, and yours are always so expressive and just right.
