These nine artists primarily work in pen and ink — and aren’t just reviving an often-forgotten medium, but redefining it. In a world of glowing screens, pen and ink seems elegant and antiquated, like…
I’m new to this pool. To introduce myself I’m adding an old drawing, one of my favorites. The original was scribbled in ball point pen in my journal … with barely enough light to see. Friends had taken my husband, Dale, and me to this little marsh near Alma, Wisconsin, a little town on the Mississippi River. Later I worked on this, more refined, version in one motel after another during our trip home to Oregon. My notes written at that time tell the story ….. The blackbirds are quieting. A chilly stillness creeps in swiftly after the sun sets. There is a promise of a hard frost. As darkness takes over, small, family groups of swans continue to fly low over the marsh, relocating themselves for the night. Just when we think we’re ready to leave, a bright glow disturbs the dark sky behind the eastern ridge line. It rapidly grows brighter. Up eases a thin sliver of moon. More and more creeps above the ridge line until a full globe shines in the dark sky. Geese and ducks continue to fly in. Three late swans circle into the valley; their whiteness catches the moonlight as they join swans already resting on the marsh.
Joseph Clement Coll (1881-1921) died at too young an age, of appendicitis. A cynic might call that tragic event "a smart career move" because Coll's pen-and-ink+brush style would rapidly fall out of illustration fashion during the 1920s. On the other hand, he did produce some illustrations in other media that were competently done. That competence plus his sense of portraying dramatic action might have stood him well had he lived longer. His brief Wikipedia entry is here. A more personal appraisal by Jim Vadeboncoeur Jr. is here, and a Muddy Colors post about him by Greg Ruth is here. Coll produced a huge amount of illustrations during his comparatively short career, so there naturally was variation in quality. Below I present a collection of what I consider his better work. Most of his illustrations were vignettes or non-framed full-page illustrations with plenty of white space. When he did framed illustrations or illustrations of night scenes, the results were usually murky looking -- an effect hard to avoid given his preferred medium. Gallery Strong composition. A confrontation with Fu Manchu. Fu Manchu again. Another striking composition. A "King of the Khyber Rifles" illustration from 1916 (Kelly collection) that's so cluttered and murky that some of the action is lost. A "framed" illustration, also from the Kelly collection, where the penwork works against the subject matter again. Here we find penwork augmented by spots of bold brushwork. Another example of Coll's brushwork-plus-line. There might be some water-thinned ink or ink washes here too, but one would have to view the original art to be sure. A fine example of Coll's brush+line. I wonder if some of this was scratchboard. It's framed, but not as heavy as in some examples above. At the top of the image appear to be U.S. Cavalry troopers, and the female might be Victory. Perhaps the 1916 Mexican incursion rather than the Great War.
