The Delaware Art Museum is celebrating that centennial with Howard Pyle: American Master Rediscovered, a major retrospective exhibition featuring 79 paintings and drawings created by Pyle between 1876 and 1910. Pyle's work came to prominence during a period of explosive growth in the publishing industry. His work was admired by such notables as Vincent Van Gogh and Mark Twain, and He was a celebrity in his lifetime. Pyle's of pirates, knights, and historical figures were featured in publications such as Harper's Monthly and he wrote and illustrated many books.
This exhibition presents a fresh perspective on Pyle's familiar images, exploring his
interaction with the art and culture of his time and how it fit within the
broader spectrum of 19th-century art.
Visions of the Past concentrates on Pyle's depictions of history, including Roman gladiators
and Medieval knights. Pyle's pirate imagery is based on his own personal archive of costume books and historic manuscripts. Fairytale and Fantasy will focus on Pyle's fairy tales and children's illustrations. America -- Past and Present highlights Pyle's enthusiasm for the
history of the United States.

Cafe: Ultra-Realistic Sculpture by Marc Sijan At Delaware Art Museum
delart.org
Visitors to the The Delaware Art Museum might find themselves wondering how a very large, nearly naked man got past security to check out the pre-Raphaelite collection. Upon closer inspection they will realize that it is one of the Ultra-Realistic Sculptures by Marc Sijan. These startlingly lifelike sculptures, are based on individuals Sijan knows well. His faces and figures capture movement and human emotion, as well as the minute details of individual appearance. Although the artist draws inspiration from the idealized anatomy of classical sculptures, his contemporary interpretation of the human form illustrates the gritty imperfections of average people.
Sijan breathes life into his sculptures through a laborious six-month process. After creating a plaster mold, he casts the sculpture in polyester resin. Sijan achieves a realistic flesh-like surface by coating the sculpture in up to 25 layers of paint and meticulously adding unique variations with oil paint, such as freckles, veins, and birthmarks.
The free-standing figures will be installed throughout the galleries to playfully engage visitors with the Museum's permanent collection. Ultra-Realistic Sculpture by Marc Sijan opens at the Deleware Art Museum November 13th and runs through January 16th.
Organizers and Sponsors
Marc Sijan Studio, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Tour management provided by Smith Kramer Fine Art Services, Kansas City, Missouri.
In Delaware, this exhibition is made possible, in part, by grants from the Delaware Division of the Arts, a state agency dedicated to nurturing and supporting the arts in Delaware, in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts.
Additional support is provided by The Edgar A. Thronson Foundation.
