Howard Pyle--Writer, Illustrator, Founder of the Brandywine School by Henry C. Pitz

Fantastic artist....from grim to gorgeous and everything inbetween, and the detail... wrinkles on clothing, especially striking are his black-and-white sketches, ordinary people or royalty, anything you're in the mood for, very evocative, lots of texture, and split second action portrayals, as if the people in his art are in motion, very engaging. Beautiful and sensual, to humorous portrayals, to thought-provoking. The very best and worst in mankind. Depicts stories wonderfully.
