AARON PYLE WINTER NIGHT EGG TEMPERA ON BOARD
Est: -
Aaron Gunn Pyle (1903 - 1972) Winter Night Egg Tempera on Board. Signed on lower left. Born in Towanda, Kansas, Aaron Pyle was a painter of regional landscapes who lived most of his life in Chappell, Nebraska. He studied with Thomas Hart Benton from Missouri and adopted Benton's rhythmic style. He also did numerous illustrations of Nebraska life and landscapes for the Omaha World Herald. Benton thought highly of his former student, saying, "He, (Pyle), was a true regionalist, perhaps closer to being a real one than any of the rest of us, for he lived continually with his subjects. If I am considered the painter of Missouri, and grant wood of Iowa, and John Stuart Curry is of Kansas, then as things now stand, Aaron Pyle is definitely the painter of Nebraska."

Aaron Gunn Pyle (Nebraska, 1903-1972) Line Storm Circa 1969 Signed lower right, titled verso. The strength and charm of this composition with its handsome color palette are validated by the copy of a letter found on back: 'Dear Aaron - I am very much impressed by the last batch of pictures you have sent us. Some guys mature early and some guys mature late. I guess you are among the latter - but there is no question for us about the fact that you are becoming an artist of real stature. You will eventually become in Nebraska like Grant Wood in Iowa, John Curry in Kansas and me in Missouri. Maybe you will out distance us. You are becoming the best artist I have ever had the privilege of teaching. Keep it up and best luck to you. Regards to Jerry, who has her place in your development. Cordially, Tom. P.S. The picture of Jerry, I guess it's her, hanging up the laundry is a real hot shot. So is the Hunter and his dog - T.' Tom and Rita Benton sold works by Pyle and others from their basement art gallery. Sight size measures 11.5 x 13.5 with a framed size of 19.5 x 21.75 inches.
