Did you know - Winter Week 3 The Golden Age of Illustration - During this time from 1880-1920, the distinction between the commercial and fine artist was blurred or non-existent. Books and magazines provided lucrative markets for illustration that attracted and rewarded the most talented, skilled artists. Prior to 1880, most graphic art in periodicals was reproduced from wood engravings. By 1900 mass color printing had advanced to the point where artwork could be reproduced on magazine covers at a reasonable cost. Some famous artists include; Howard Pyle, Maxfield Parrish, Jessie Willcox Smith, NC Wyeth, Charles Dana Gibson, Aubrey Beardsley, and James Montgomery Flagg. 2018, Illustration Art Solutions Glaze - is a painting technique where a transparent layer of paint that has been thinned by some sort of oil and is spread over the top of a painting that is dry. Scumble - is a painting technique in which a color is added over another color so that bits of the lower layers of color show through the scumbling. The paint is usually opaque or semi transparent and scrubbed onto the surface using a dry brush. Oil Paint - is paint that has been made by mixing pigment with a binder, usually linseed oil. The method has been around for hundreds of years and was fully developed during the Renaissance. The workability of the paint and the depth that can be achieved using oils makes it popular. Acrylic Paint - is a paint made of pigment mixed with an acrylic polymer emulsion that acts as a binder. Other additives include plasticizers, silicon oils and stabilizers. Acrylic paints are water-soluble but water-resistant when dry. It was first developed in the 1940’s. Medium - As it pertains to oil painting, a medium is an oil based fluid used to thin oil paint. There are many different types. Some of the most popular commercial types are made by Gamblin and Winsor Newton. Mediums can also be made by mixing linseed oil, turpentine and damar varnish. Transparent Colors in Oil - paints that when thinned with a medium are transparent. Paints can also be semi-transparent, semi-opaque or opaque. Some colors are Alizarin Crimson, Ultramarine blue, Viridian Green, Manganese Blue, Hansa Yellow Deep, Prussian Blue and most of the earth tones including burnt/raw umber, burnt/raw sienna, yellow ochre, and venetian red. There are more and individual manufacturers have their own colors. Check their websites for detailed information. .

Violet Oakley: Pennsylvania’S Premiere Muralist
1 VIOLET OAKLEY: PENNSYLVANIA’S PREMIERE MURALIST Susan Hamburger Paper and slide presentation Pennsylvania Historical Association October 14, 1995 [SLIDE 1] Violet Oakley--a versatile portraitist, illustrator, stained glass artisan, and muralist--earned a reputation as the first American woman artist to succeed in the predominantly-male architectural field of mural decoration. Her strong commitment to her religion and world peace influenced her art as well as her life. [SLIDE 2] Oakley was born in Bergen Heights, New Jersey, to the artistic family of Arthur Edmund Oakley and Cornelia Swain Oakley. Both of her grandfathers, George Oakley and William Swain, belonged to the National Academy of Design and two of her aunts studied painting in Munich with Frank Duveneck. She believed that her compulsion to draw was “hereditary and chronic.” She once commented that she must have been “a monk in some earlier state of existence....The abbesses and sisters were too busy nursing the sick and doing fine needleworks. I never heard of them illuminating manuscripts. I am quite sure I was a monk.” 1 The youngest of three children, Violet followed her sisters Cornelia and Hester in learning the acceptable feminine skills of poetry writing, piano playing, 2 and sketching. While Hester attended Vassar College, Violet’s asthma prevented her from obtaining a college education which her parents thought too rigorous for her physical condition. She never let the asthma impede her artistic education or career. In 1892, at the age of eighteen, Oakley commuted to New York City to study at the Art Students’ League with Irving R.

Howard Pyle: Imagining an American School of Art. by JILL P. MAY and ROBERT E. MAY. (Champaign: University of Illinois Press, 20
2012 BOOK REVIEWS 317 Howard Pyle: Imagining an American School of Art. By JILL P. M AY and ROBERT E. MAY. (Champaign: University of Illinois Press, 2011. 288 pp. Illustrations, notes, index. $45.) Once upon a time, the latest book illustrated by Howard Pyle (1853–1910) was on every American child’s wish list. In the meantime, youngsters could enjoy his vivid portrayals of history and legend in the pages of St. Nicholas, Everybody’s, Collier’s, Century, Scribner’s, and Harper’s magazines. Though not a household name today, Pyle was the preeminent illustrator of the Gilded Age, and his visual interpretations of the American Revolution, Robin Hood and his Merry Men, the Knights of the Round Table, and a motley crew of pirates were indelibly printed on the imaginations of several generations. Now a new book published in conjunction with the centenary of Howard Pyle’s death has redis- covered this forgotten icon of the popular culture. The subject is custom-made for authors Jill P. May, professor of literacy and language, and Robert E. May, professor of history (both at Purdue University), who bring to this work their expertise in fields beyond the history of art. This is not a coffee-table book but the first extensively documented biography of Howard Pyle. The authors combed through numerous archives and museum collections and wove their findings into a fluent narrative that documents Pyle’s personal life and his career as an illus- trator, author, and teacher. The frequent use of quotations from letters re-creates the intimate conversations between Pyle and his wide circle of colleagues and students, revealing the artist’s exuberant personality and manic energy.
