Delaware Art Museum will run an exhibition named 'Illustrating Her World: Ellen B. T. Pyle' from August 1, 2009 to January 3, 2010.
Ellen Bernard Thompson Pyle (1876-1936) was born in Germantown, Pennsylvania. She studied art at the Drexel Institute, and she was one of the few female students invited to study illustration at Howard Pyle’s Chadds Ford summer school. She married Pyle’s brother Walter in 1904.
She was a prolific illustrator during the 1920s, famous especially for her 40 covers for The Saturday Evening Post. Her recognizable style drew acclaim from around the country. She receives the first overview of her career in this exhibition of approximately 50 works.
