He established an art school there which operated in the summertimes. Yes, they were contemporaries, but Howard Pyle was N.C. Wyeth's instructor. This is how the Wyeths and Howard Pyle became connected. So that really Howard Pyle is the founder of the Chadd's Ford group of artists. -- Anne Pyle mailto:ceannmor@erols.com
