Continuation of discussion of the way of working of R. H. Ives Gammell with Paul and fellow student, Thomas R. Dunlay. This segment focuses on actual works brought in for the purpose.

In response to Kofi

QUESTION: Paul, could you talk a bit about Gammell's Hound of Heaven series and his process for it? I'm assuming parts of it were done from imagination, and if so, what parts and how? Would he have referenced models or would he have constructed figures from imagination like other American illustrators of his generation? If construction was involved, how did that fit into the Boston school rhetoric of working from the visual impression if there was no impression to be observed in the first place?
