Howard Pyle, author and illustrator of books for children such as The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood, Otto of the Silver Hand, and The Story of King Arthur and His Knights, b. 1853. Pyle was also a teacher of art, and he influenced such famous artist/illustrators as Jessie Wilcox Smith, Elizabeth Shippen Green, and N.C. Wyeth. Reading about all these artists made me think: wouldn’t it be wonderful to not only leave behind on this earth work that was good and worthwhile, but also to leave a legacy in the lives of others who would carry on their own work partly because of your teaching and influence?
Last year on Howard Pyle.
