Characteristics

A traditional silverpoint styli is made with a small fine rod of silver, such as jeweler's wire, which is inserted into a wooden rod. Another design is a silver-tipped metal stylus with points on both ends. An example of this type is in Rogier van der Weyden's St. Luke Drawing the Virgin, ca. 1435-40 (Boston Museum of Fine Arts). For a contemporary stylus, jeweler's wire may be inserted into a pin vise or mechanical pencil. (Watrous, 1957) The initial marks of silverpoint appear grey as other metalpoints, however, silverpoint lines, when exposed to air, tarnish to a warm brown tone. The oxidation becomes perceptible over a period of several months. Historically, silverpoint styli ranged widely in composition from pure silver to heavily alloyed with copper (over 20% weight). (Duval, 2004; Reiche, 2004/2005; Watrous, 1957) In the Middle Ages, metalpoint was used directly on parchment for the underdrawing of illuminated manuscripts or model books. On uncoated parchment (and paper), silverpoint is particularly light in value. However, since the 14th century, silverpoint was used more successfully on prepared supports. A traditional ground may be prepared with a rabbit skin glue solution pigmented with bone ash, chalk and/or lead white. Contemporary grounds include acrylic gesso, gouache and commercially prepared claycoat papers. The slight tooth of the ground preparation takes a little of the silver as it is drawn across the surface. Silverpoint has encompassed a wide range of styles from Durer's curvi-linear precision to Rembrandt's gestural sketches. Silverpoint has also proven adaptable to modern styles. Thomas Wilmer Dewing's late 19th Century silverpoint portraits are essentially tonal, as are Paula Gerard's mid-20th Century abstract compositions. Gerard's "Vortex" (Fairweather Hardin Gallery) is an innovative combination of silverpoint, goldpoint and watercolor on casein-coated parchment. (Weber, 1985) Old Master silverpoints are typically intimate in scale, recalling the technique's roots in manuscript illumination. However, modern artists have also utilized this fine line technique for works on an increasingly large scale. John Wilde's "The Great Autobiographical Silverpoint Drawing" (The Art Institute of Chicago 1986.8) which is 38 x 91", one of the largest modern silverpoints. Silverpoint is also used in conjunction with other metalpoints by contemporary artists. In his The Last of the Old Woodstock Inn, 1968 (The Art Institute of Chicago), Ivan Le Lorraine Albright used silver with platinum, gold, copper and brasspoint on commercially prepared video media paper. Contemporary artists continue to push the boundaries of this ancient drawing technique. (Weber, 1985) For example, experimental metalpoint techniques including goldpoint on silicon carbide paper are demonstrated in Draw Like Da Vinci by Susan Dorothea White, as in Gilding the Lily (2005).

Description

Silverpoint is a traditional drawing technique first used by Medieval scribes on manuscripts.

History

A silverpoint drawing is made by dragging a silver rod or wire across a surface, often prepared with gesso or primer. Silverpoint is one of several types of metalpoint used by scribes, craftsman and artists since ancient times. Metalpoint styli were used for writing on soft surfaces (wax or bark), ruling and underdrawing on parchment, and drawing on prepared paper and panel supports. For drawing purposes, the essential metals used were lead, tin and silver. The softness of these metals made them effective drawing instruments. (Watrous, 1957) In the late Gothic/early Renaissance era, silverpoint emerged as a fine line drawing technique. Not blunting as easily as lead or tin, and rendering precise detail, silverpoint was especially favored in Florentine and Flemish workshops. Silverpoint drawings of this era include model books and preparatory sheets for paintings. Artists who worked in silverpoint include Jan van Eyck, Leonardo da Vinci, Albrecht Dürer and Raphael. Cennino Cennini's "Il Libro dell'Arte" provides a window on the practice of silver and leadpoint drawing, as well as preparing metalpoint grounds, in the late 14th century. (Thompson, 1933; Duval, et al., 2004) Susan Dorothea White's recent book Draw Like Da Vinci (2006) describes the silverpoint technique of Leonardo da Vinci. As noted by Francis Ames-Lewis, drawing styles changed at the end of the 16th century, resulting in a decline for metalpoint. Artists sought more gestural qualities, for which red and black chalk were better suited. Ink and wash drawings are also prevalent in the period. In addition, these other drawing techniques required less effort. The preparation of silverpoint supports, usually with hide glue with finely ground bone ash, was labor intensive. Natural chalks and charcoal have the advantage of producing immediate results on uncoated papers. (Ames-Lewis, 2000) Dutch artists Hendrik Goltzius and Rembrandt van Rijn maintained the silverpoint tradition into the 17th century, as it declined in other parts of Europe. Rembrandt made several silverpoints on prepared vellum, the best-known being the portrait of his wife Saskia, 1633 (KdZ1152, Berlin). However, artists who continued the tradition of fine line drawing, such as J. A. D. Ingres, turned to graphite, which gradually improved in quality and availability throughout Europe since the 1600s. Silverpoint was for practical purposes rendered obsolete by the 18th century. (Reiche, 2005)

Revival

Joseph Meder (Das Buchlein vom Silbersteft, 1909), Alphonse Legros, the Pre-Raphaelites and Joseph Stella helped revitalize the technique. Art historian Meder created interest in the traditional technique in Austria and Germany, while artist/teacher Legros did likewise in England. In the early 20th century, Joseph Stella was one of the few American artists working in the technique. Stella explored the technique on zinc white gouache prepared grounds, often with crayon and other media. Stella's silverpoint oevre includes the 1921 portrait of Marcel Duchamp (MoMA, Katherine S. Dreier Bequest).(Haskell, 1994) Silverpoint achieved greater contemporary recognition after a groundbreaking exhibit, "The Fine Line: Drawing with Silver in America" was curated for the Norton Museum of Art, in 1985 by Bruce Weber. The exhibition featured a wide range of styles including Thomas Wilmer Dewing, John Wilde and Paula Gerard. A recent museum exhibition was "The Luster of Silver" at the Telfair Museum of Art, Savannah, GA, in 2006. This has been followed by a similar but expanded metalpoint survey of the same name, "The Luster of Silver", at the Evansville Museum of Arts, Science and History, Evansville, IN. Co-curated by Jeannine Cook and Koo Schadler, the exhibit runs during the summer of 2009.
