Recent Silver Work In Denmark

blazed new trails during the last
twenty years. Modernism ap-
peared about the time of the Paris
exhibition in 1925, with the works
of Professor Kaj Fisker executed
for A. Nicholson. Several of these
works bear strong evidence of
having been designed by man re-
mote from the silversmith' work.
shop; on the whole, it may be said
that modern silver of this period
seems to be characterized more
by free art than by craftsmanship
done in close cooperation with the
workmen who were to execute it.
Actually, these objects were never
success: they never went into
production. They were single
pieces, often very costly to make,
but without looking costly. Never
theless, this small but idealistic
production, to be seen now in mu-
seums, had its Importance. 1t
succeeded in achieving pure form,
and indeed in simplifying form to
the extent of poverty. Rejecting
even the merest suggestion of
ornament and decoration, it con-
centrated every effort on form, in
close association with similar en-
deavours in architecture.
But it cannot be the ideal fer
silver, this precious and beautiful
material, to resemble stainless
steel or aluminium and yet cost 20
times as much. If, however, the
objects are to be hand-wrought,
hammered by hand out of sheet,
modern, smooth silver, with the
demands that are made on clean
ness of line and exactness, will be
too expensive. So recourse must
be had to machines, while at the
same time we must try to give
life to the form, to make it ex-
pressive and precious, enabling
us to see a spiritual connection be-
tween the material and. the nature
of the object.
A machine in itself is a dead
thing, but with the ingenuity of
man it can be put to all purposes
The pressing machine can produce
one smooth-sided cylindrical cup
after another, if that is all one
wants. Many silversmiths want
nothing more, and so the result is
the spread of spiritless work, the
mass-production of silverware
lacking material beauty and dead
in form; it almost dominates, for
example, the production of sports
prizes very important and
much neglected field. Year after
year, cups and shields are dis
tributed by numberless clubs and
associations. Quite number of +
people have more silver on the |
sideboard than in it.
But the pressing machine can
also be made to follow mans be-
hests and do practically what he
wants it to do. In actual fact,
technical science is not much more
than the potter's wheel.
The assembled cartridges of silver
or wood, with skilled craftsman
TO work the pressure steel, show
that the possibilities of varying the
form are unlimited. The crafts
mans effort has merely been
from the object to the
tool which makes it. Just as the
life of all pressed cutlery produc-
ton is in the work of the steel-en-
graver so also the actual work of
silverware is done in the model by
he cartridge. This is where cap
tai makes its contribution, in time

I and money. If the work is solid
and rational and yet has artistic
spirit, the foundation has been
laid for serial production. One
thing is still lacking, however: the
objects must be sold, for otherwise
the best efforts come to a stop.
In eral, people have no
knowledge of how things are made.
Whether a silver cup has been
hammered or pressed only the ex-
pert can judge. Therefore we
should not overdo the technical; at
least it should never be forgotten
that the thing to be judged is the
finished object. A few years ago
it was often stressed that it should
be apparent that an object had
been handmade, and if it had been
machine-pressed it was hammered
up. At one time, people were
so impressed by the machine and
by mechanical tools that they pre-
ferred the finished works to have a
machine-made look about them.
Many, however, now realize that
the finished jug, the finished bowl,
must answer for itself But then
man, to quote much used phrase,
must make himself master of the
machine
At the workshops of Frantz
Hingelberg, in Aarhus, and Hans
H a n en-, Holding, conscientious
work has been carried out for many
years to solve problems connected
with modern silver production. For
number of years, in both firms,
one man by his artistic contribu-
ton has set his stamp on the work
as a whole. Karl Gustav Hansen
designs all his own silver and does
it on the basis of solid technical
knowledge of the potentialities of
the material. His forms are often
vigorous, and he appreciates a SUBJ
stantial thickness of metal which
makes the objects heavy but not
clumsy. Sten Weinrauch has for
many years been the first modern
istic silver designer in the Danish
provinces. There is much cohesion
and consistency in his work. He
is always himself. In braided fill
gree work he has often found in
teresting solutions and pointed to
new variations. His surface
treatment is dull without resem-
bling pewter; altogether, he is very
successful in the material effects
he achieves.
Erik Herlev has worked for some
years with A Nicholson. He is an
architect by training and profess
sion. In collaboration with the
jeweler Jegrgen Nicholson he has
organized a wholly modern silver
ware production based on ma
chinery. In contrast to many
young craftsmen he honestly ac-
his love for the past
and does not conceal the fact that
he learns from old silver One of
the secrets of the special charm of
his silver work is his interest in
reflection. He likes silver
to shine. The buoyancy of the
form is measured through the ar
of the reflection, and
this is only half worked out on the
drawing board. Herlov is an ad-
silver signer, but
through an often daily co-opera-
ton with the workmen he has sue
ceeded in penetrating to the CEN
trail effects of object work. His
studies have the effect of being
thought out, but the
finished articles are rarely sophis-
Heated. Today, he is the man whose
work with silver is the most pur-
poseful. and he gets the finest re-
suits.
