• The Chester County History Center is offering a virtual talk on Howard Pyle and the Brandywine Tradition: An American School of Art on Tuesday, March 28 from 7-8 p.m. At the height of his fame, Pyle founded the Howard Pyle School of Art in Wilmington, Delaware. His bold purpose was to train promising young artists to produce uniquely American work that would echo the nation’s spirit and challenge Europe’s artistic supremacy. Towards that end, Pyle championed imagination over technique and originality over imitation. Author and illustrator Alice Carter will explain how Pyle’s audacious experiment spawned six generations of remarkable students schooled in his methods. Although his own story has faded with the years, Pyle’s creative vision continues to be a dominant force in contemporary visual culture. This is a pay-as-you-wish event and was rescheduled from Feb. 21. If you already reserved a ticket for that date, you don’t need to reserve another ticket. Those who need to register should go here.
