Joseph Beuys is supposed to have said "Drawing is thinking." (For sure, Milton Glaser of the "I ♥/NY" slogan wrote a book with the title "Drawing is Thinking," which I won't read.) Short, but rings right. All Best, Lucy Dear Bruno,

Your December 7th, 2009, slightly wistful comments about Metalpoints and a "dream exhibition" resonated - I have always found that silverpoints, in particular, scattered amongst exhibtions of master drawings, leave one slightly unsatisfied. The shimmering, quiet voice of silverpoints does not need any other. Coincidently, I was privileged to confirm this with a 2009 exhibition of contemporary silverpoint drawings which I helped curate with another silverpoint artist, Koo Schadler, for the Evansville Museum of Art, Evansville, IN. Having viewed the works digitally to make the selections, it became utter magic to walk into the exhibition rooms and see these beautiful drawings playing one off another in lustrous, restrained elegance. It is heartening to know that despite our being a very restricted number of silverpoint artists who work today, at least sometimes, the public can thus see silverpoints/metalpoints standing proud and alone as works of art. My best wishes to you.
