With his misshapen skull and body, which was in fact largely foam rubber, he was unable to lie down or even rest between shots. The tedium can result in tension on location, and there are some actors the artists will not work with. After clashing with Robert De Niro on The Deer Hunter, for instance, Smith resigned from the picture and now refuses...

So with his drawing: the reflux of foam, the chrysanthemum-like poppling of the back eddies on the surface, the strings and rings of bubbles are seen with astounding acuity, as is the rendering of different levels of water motion in the transparent depth of the cistern...
