It is the history of Illustration in America. Where I used to work they had original paintings by Andrew Loomis and Coles Phillips and several other famous illustrators. The company closed and moved the work overseas but before they did we convinced them to have an exhibit of those original paintings. I live in a small town in Iowa and that was a big deal around here. I only regret that the Norman Rockwell was removed several years earlier with a public showing. I commented that "To have great art and not have a public showing is like having a good book and not letting anyone elst read it. We are lucky to have public art museums.c.dingmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787524207882016265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2256547391140574037.post-79512802379464557922011-07-16T11:20:21.088-05:002011-07-16T11:20:21.088-05:00Hi Karla, I was on Azra's blog and saw the nam...Hi Karla, I was on Azra's blog and saw the name Howard Pyle on your blog and just had to stop by.

We went to the Barnes Foundation instead. (It is in the process of moving but has an awesome collection...) Will need to go to the Delaware next time. There are so many great museums in all parts of the country. Nice to know of another.Maria Kovalenko Leysenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08041148792086830724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2256547391140574037.post-21997687535576658432011-07-15T05:22:55.086-05:002011-07-15T05:22:55.086-05:00A most fabulous post, Karla!
