THIS is what we are trying to do as illustrators--to make people experience the story, to feel the cold, or the heat, or the suspense, or the delight. Pyle's words give artists something to hold on to, something to measure their work against. It's not just about making nice, or accurate pictures; it's telling a story.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11195527278285894012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-3647907413215939402011-07-15T10:51:01.030-04:002011-07-15T10:51:01.030-04:00So enjoyed this read Jim, Never cease to amaze!

Your relative first sets the scene so vividly, then lets us meet Pyle.<br /><br />Although this was more about his critiquing of others work it was still so revealing about Pyle, his art and thoughts on art.<br /><br />I'm always disappointed when artists think they do not need to talk about their work... "My art speaks for itself...", "it's visual... so does not need words".<br /><br />Reportedly Homer would not talk about his work, was reclusive, too bad. That means what we know of it is only from others interpretations, perfectly valid, but not the artists perspective.<br /><br />Once gone their perspective is too.<br /><br />This is why people attend classes, lectures and workshops and why collectors attend art show openings, so they can hear the artists perspective, not someone else's. Most want more than the visual.<br /><br />The way people wrote more back then makes me imagine she excitedly rushed home and recorded what Pyle said word for word, hence the quotations.<br /><br />If you ever speak to her in some kind of seance thank her for us all.David Teterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747334525619423349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-84990526180933877752011-07-14T21:52:53.994-04:002011-07-14T21:52:53.994-04:00Goodness... this just made me take down the still-...Goodness... this just made me take down the still-life I was about to paint.Andrew M Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16393100718289476598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-70219054491982824442011-07-14T17:37:54.251-04:002011-07-14T17:37:54.251-04:00Amazing, what a great insight into the man that wa...Amazing, what a great insight into the man that was Pyle.

I use Pyle's quotes and examples all the time when I teach, so his wisdom definitely lives on.

It immediately made me think of a Shishkin painting of rain in a forest and that was exactly what HE captured!Julia L. Powellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12862170354411813652noreply@blogger.com
