Nov. 9.-IIoward Pyle, the American artist and author, died hero today of heart disease. His home was In Wilmington. Del.Howard Pyle was one of the most successful of American artists., He was almost the father of American*, magazine illustration as it Is known to-day. As an author his Men at Arms, a book tor boys, which he illustrated, had a large suie. and his Merry Adventures of Robin Hood was ulmost as successful.Mr. Pylo came from a Quaker family and was born In Wilmington. Del., in 1KVJ. He never drank and he never smoked. He lived In Wilmington and lead an informal school of Illustrating. His pupils never paid him anything tor his services, but came to him on Monday nights for criticism.Although he was a Quaker Mr. Pyle was more at home In painting fighters than In any other field. He later turned to painting scenes of the American Revolution and the civil war. His last development was a study of mediaeval times in France and Italy.Another Important fact about Mr. Pyle was his Intense Americanism. He never w«nt abroad until a year ago this month. He had a large library, and while he painted personages and scenes of European history he never had to go abroad to study conditions there. He always discouraged his pupils from seeking their training In Europe, as artists have been accustomed to do.In this respect it Is noticeable that Just In his last year Mr. Pyle began to change his mind. The year he spent in Italy had a great inlluence on him. After he had been abroad a short time many of his friends received letters from him—especially his former pupils—in which he urged them to come to Italy.and study the life there.DR. A.
