The Norman Rockwell Museum will be opening the exhibition “Howard Pyle: American Master Rediscovered” next Saturday, June 9, 2012. Organized by the Delaware Art Museum, the show will be on view at Norman Rockwell Museum through October 28, 2012. Howard Pyle(1853 – 1911) is often referred to as the grandfather of American illustration. He was one of America’s most popular illustrators and storytellers during a period of explosive growth in the publishing industry. A celebrity in his lifetime, Pyle’s widely circulated images of pirates, knights, and historical figures were featured in publications such as Harper’s Monthly and were admired by such artists and authors as Vincent Van Gogh, Mark Twain, and Norman Rockwell. (Howard Pyle at his studio easel, taken by C.P.M. Runeford, 1898 Howard Pyle Manuscript Collection) Organized by the Delaware Art Museum, in Wilmington, Delaware, Howard Pyle: American Master Rediscovered features 79 original paintings and drawings created by Pyle between 1876 and 1910, on loan from the Delaware Art Museum, which was founded in 1912 to preserve and exhibit Pyle’s work following his death. The exhibition presents a fresh perspective on Pyle’s imagery, exploring his interaction with the art and culture of 19th-century art. “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,” notes Dr. Joyce K. Schiller, curator of the Rockwell Center for American Visual Studies at Norman Rockwell Museum. “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 imagining themselves in 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.” The Norman Rockwell Museum will be hanging Rockwell's 1959 tribute, “Family Tree” next to one of Pyle's pirate galleon images. In addition to this exhibition, they have installed a small exhibition of artists who were students of Pyle’s, whose work is part of the NRM's permanent collection. All the details at this link.

Laughter is the best medicine and it's time for a big dose of happy. Kick up your feet and enjoy some of the most liked/pinned/shared sewing and quilting memes/comics. So many misconceptions about what a sewist really does. Honestly, I'd say most of my time is spent finding the tools I just had in my hand a second ago.
