  • 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.

    Copyright © 1976 by the South Dakota State Historical Society. All Rights Reserved. Harvey Thomas Dunn Copyright © 1976 by the South Dakota State Historical Society. All Rights Reserved. Dakota Images Presenting homestead life as a frugal, heroic, lonely existence, Harvey Dunn has captured and preserved the realism of our pioneer heritage more than any other painter. He was bom near Manchester, Dakota Territory, on 8 March 1884. D From 1901 to 1902 he attended South Dakota »Agricultural College at Brookings, where he studied under Ada B. Caldwell. After further instruction at the Chicago Institute of Art, he completed his »training as a student of Howard Pyle, well-known illustrator, in Wilmington, Delaware. In 1906 Dunn established his own studio in Wilmington. He was an almost immediate success as an illustrator and worked for such popular magazines as Scribner's, Harper's, and The Saturday Evening Post. During World War 1 Dunn served as an artist-correspondent for the A.E.F. in Europe. When he returned in 1919, he and his wife, Johanne Louise Krebs, moved to TenaÜy, New Jersey, where he lived until his death in 1952. w In 1920 Dunn painted The Homesteader's Wife, the first of his pioneer series, and in 1925 began his most popular work The Prairie is My w Garden. During the 1930s the photographer began to take the place of the illustrator, so Dunn turned to mural painting. In 1935 he painted Dust and other works showing drought, and in 1945 he did Something for Supper. In the 1940s Dunn made several trips back to X South Dakota.

  • Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood (PRB) Had Only Seven Members but Influenced Many Other Artists
    1 • Of course, their patrons, largely the middle-class themselves form different groups and each member of the PRB appealed to different types of buyers but together they created a stronger brand. In fact, they differed from a boy band as they created works that were bought independently. As well as their overall PRB brand each created an individual brand (sub-cognitive branding) that convinced the buyer they were making a wise investment. • Millais could be trusted as he was a born artist, an honest Englishman and made an ARA in 1853 and later RA (and President just before he died). • Hunt could be trusted as an investment as he was serious, had religious convictions and worked hard at everything he did. • Rossetti was a typical unreliable Romantic image of the artist so buying one of his paintings was a wise investment as you were buying the work of a ‘real artist’. 2 • The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood (PRB) had only seven members but influenced many other artists. • Those most closely associated with the PRB were Ford Madox Brown (who was seven years older), Elizabeth Siddal (who died in 1862) and Walter Deverell (who died in 1854). • Edward Burne-Jones and William Morris were about five years younger. They met at Oxford and were influenced by Rossetti. I will discuss them more fully when I cover the Arts & Crafts Movement. • There were many other artists influenced by the PRB including, • John Brett, who was influenced by John Ruskin, • Arthur Hughes, a successful artist best known for April Love, • Henry Wallis, an artist who is best known for The Death of Chatterton (1856) and The Stonebreaker (1858), • William Dyce, who influenced the Pre-Raphaelites and whose Pegwell Bay is untypical but the most Pre-Raphaelite in style of his works.

A good, light readBy bookgalDidn't know how I would fee about this book as I should have read it when I was much younger, but I thoroughly enjoyed it, especially for its light deft touch on the man, his associates and his stories. Pyle, who was actually an illustrator who took this and other stories and adapted them for young people, did just that with Robin Hood, creating most definitely an unreal happy-go-lucky, gentle thief who lives in the woods and takes from the rich "to give to the poor."The stories are funny, light and easy to read (only some old English to contend with). If you're looking for a break from the violent, blood, serious or supernatural, here is a good choice.5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Childhood Favorite - AKA Why I grew up loving books!By Jennifer CarterI found this book on my Mother's bookshelf when I was 5 years-old.

  • 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.
