  • oward Pyle American Master RediscoveredAt Delaware Art Museum
    December 27, 2011

    When asked how he began a new project, eminent illustrator Howard Pyle replied, ⁆irst, I throw in my heart, then I dive in after it.†That intense involvement in the images he created and commitment to action and accuracy were hallmarks of the compelling art and brilliant teaching of the Father of American Illustration. Although doubtful at times, Pyle (1853-1911) was generally convinced of the importance of his work. ⁁ wider impression can be made upon the world of American art through book illustration,†he said, ⁴han through any other medium.†A national celebrity in his time, Pyle⁳ images of historical figures, knights and pirates in books and mass circulation periodicals were admired by authors and emulated by artists. Marking the centennial of Pyle⁳ death as well as the 100th anniversary of its founding, the Delaware Art Museum, Wilmington, Del., organized ⁈oward Pyle: American Master Rediscovered,†on view through March 4.
