Sculptures by Walter Russell
The Later Work: The Sculptor Walter Russell
"Most sculptors make the mistake“, he said, “of thinking of eyes as form and they therefore make them as spherical surfaces. Eyes are not forms, they are transparent, and what one really sees is the light of the soul in them – and that is what I try to give them".
(Glenn Clark, The Man Who Tapped the Secrets of the Universe, p.15)
It is quite amazing, that Walter Russell changed from painting to sculpture only at the age of fifty-six, after having been a recognized painter of many decades. His first bust of Thomas Edison was immediately a masterpiece. People, who saw his busts, affirm the fascinating radiation and intense effect of Russell’s special technique of modelling the eyes.
