Pyle's Barn, c. 1912 Oil on canvas, 16" x 19 3⁄4" $110,000. - 125,000.Often called the "Father of American Illustration," Howard Pyle leased this Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania property to Wyeth, his most famous student, from 1908-1911. Pyle's method of instruction emphasized personal knowledge of a subject and painting from experience. It should come as no surprise then that this barn became a favorite subject of Wyeth's for a decade, serving as a valuable connection between two of the most famous American illustrators of all time.
