This exhibition highlights the work of Howard Pyle, known as the “Father of American Illustration,” and the generation of illustrators he taught. In 1894, Pyle founded the first School of Illustration in America at Drexel Institute, then in 1900 starting the Howard Pyle School of Illustration in Wilmington, Delaware. His students at both schools became known as “The Brandywine School”, which included some of America’s greatest illustrators, who are represented in this exhibition: Stanley Arthurs, Anna and Ethel Betts, Harvey Dunn, Anton Otto Fischer, Philip R. Goodwin, Elizabeth Shippen Green, W.H.D. Koerner, Violet Oakley, Frank Schoonover, Jessie Willcox Smith, Sarah Stilwell Weber and N.C. Wyeth.
