Autorenporträt
Howard Pyle was an American artist who paints, draws, and writes books, mostly for kids. He was born March 5, 1853, and died November 9, 1911. In the last year of his life, he lived in Florence, Italy. He was born in Wilmington, Delaware. He began teaching drawing at the Drexel Institute of Art, Science, and Industry in 1894. This school is now called Drexel University. Violet Oakley, Maxfield Parrish, and Jessie Willcox Smith were pupils of his. He opened his own art and illustration school after 1900. It was called the Howard Pyle School of Illustration Art. After some time, scholar Henry C. Pitz used the name "Brandywine School" to refer to the illustration artists and Wyeth family artists who worked in the Brandywine area. Some of these artists had studied with Pyle. He shaped many artists who went on to become famous in their own right, including N. C. Wyeth, Frank Schoonover, Thornton Oakley, Allen Tupper True, Stanley Arthurs, and many more. Bill Pyle and Margaret Churchman Painter had a boy named Pyle. He was born in Wilmington, Delaware. He went to special schools as a child and liked drawing and writing from a very young age.
