Sewell Sillman, American, (1921–1992)

Object Type: Work on Paper
Medium and Support: Silver Scratchboard
Credit Line: Florence Griswold Museum; Gift of the Sewell Sillman Foundation
Accession Number: 2009.11.6
Original Inventory Number: S-019/058
Sillman experimented with scratchboards beginning in the 1960s. Scratchboards, which typically consist of an illustration board coated in a black clay?like substance, are cut into with a tool. Sillman’s delicate lines on this rare metallic example gently distort the picture plane with a rhythmic pattern. The artist used silver only rarely, but those few works are among his finest.
