There are many examples in amongst the 4,000 or so works that demonstrate his experiments with different media and processes from charcoal, sepia, pen, ink and soot to lace prints, folded paper with ink (similar to Rorschach tests) as well as straight responses to either landscape, figure, or the subconscious.

Hugo, as an artist, was well ahead of his time. Also known as 'The Brick,' Victor Hugo's masterwork is one of the best-loved stories of all time. Hugo was obviously a visionary the drawings I found were at once both abstract, fantastical, and free but underlined with a backbone of draftsmanship. La guía de estudio de Los miserables contiene una biografía de Victor Hugo, ensayos literarios, cuestionarios, temas principales, personajes y un resumen y análisis completo. The angle I wanted to explore was releasing the design from the black box it had been in with colour and light, as the one thing the original show doesn’t quite communicate to me is any sense of time or place.Īs there were so many scenes in this epic piece, I knew I wanted to work with projection in order to locate the action, but to be used very simply, almost more like old-fashioned slides or rostrum work as this was a show whose story was so complex it didn’t justify constant animation apart from some key scenes the question was: what to project? I had been vaguely aware that Victor Hugo was a painter as well as a writer, but nothing quite prepared me for the images that I came across when researching the show.
