Triad Arts with David Ford Reynolda House presents Cinema Under the Stars: Heroes and Legends with Pre-Screening Talk Buried Treasure: Howard Pyle and the Silver Screen by David LubinAugust 1, 2012On Friday night, August 3, at 9:00pm The Reynolda House Museum of American Art kicks off Cinema Under the Stars: Heroes and Legends outdoor film series with the 1938 Errol Flynn movie The Adventures of Robin Hood.
This Oscar-winning classic, along with countless other adventure films that came after it, was greatly influenced by 19th century book illustrator Howard Pyle. Hollywood directors, costume designers, screenwriters, and more have continually drawn on Pyle’s colorful recreations of the past, and movie pirates from the golden era of cinema to Johnny Depp have all worn costumes inspired by Pyle’s illustrations. The great Vincent van Gogh himself once wrote that Pyle’s work struck him "dumb with admiration", and at 8:00pm on Friday, you can find out why during Reynolda’s pre-screening talk. It’s titled Buried Treasure: Howard Pyle and the Silver Screen, and it’ll be given by David's guest today, art historian and Wake Forest University Professor David Lubin.
Last year, on the 100th anniversary of Pyle's death, David Lubin was invited to speak at the Delaware Art Museum in Wilmington (Pyle’s hometown), where the largest collection of Pyle’s work resides. David has just returned from another talk on Pyle’s work and influence at the Norman Rockwell Museum in Massachusetts, and yes, it turns out that Norman Rockwell himself was a Pyle devotee as well.
