The Delaware Art Museum is currently exhibiting a comprehensive retrospective on the life and work of American artist and illustrator Howard Pyle (open for viewing November 12, 2011 – March 4, 2012).
The day will begin with a welcome by Delaware Art Museum Executive Director Danielle Rice, followed by a docent guided tour through the exhibition which will last approximately 60 – 90 min.

Join the Pennsylvania Guild of Craftsmen on this Tour of Inspiration! Delve into Pyle’s career; with images full of pirates, knights, justice, escape, heroism, and romance. This exhibition takes a new look at his work and the cultural impact of his images and teachings. There will be an opportunity to view works by some of his students – including N.C. Wyeth, Maxfield Parrish, and other acclaimed illustrators.
