Ketika Howard Pyle meninggal di 1911, Ia meninggalkan tubuh yang luas atas 3,000 karya seni dan warisan abadi ajaran terinspirasi. Pameran ini memiliki pilihan yang luar biasa dari artis terkenal dan jarang terlihat lukisan, gambar, cetakan, dan bahan-bahan arsip yang terang pada artis karir sebagai seorang pelukis dan seorang pendongeng yang sempurna dalam dunia yang berubah di titik puncak dari abad ke-20. Admired by Norman Rockwell and his contemporaries, Pyle’s exacting working methods resulted in the creation of artworks of singular beauty and refinement with innovative compositional structures. His extraordinary skill was strengthened by his conviction that illustration was an act of self revelation, and he encouraged students like N.C. Wyeth, Jessie Willcox Smith, and Frank Schoonover to understand their subjects by living them. The artist’s powerful paintings of pirates and historical and literary themes continue to spark the imagination, as reflected in the works on view.
