Frank E. Schoonover: An Artist for All Seasons

Schoonover at Bushkill, 1917
 

November 22, 2008 – January 11, 2009

Frank E. Schoonover was a prolific American illustrator during the “Golden Age of Illustration,” the early 20th century. This overview of his extensive career is mounted to celebrate the publication of a catalogue raisonné of the illustrator’s work, written and published by The Frank E. Schoonover Fund, Inc.

The exhibition features works from private collections, the Schoonover Fund Collection, and the Delaware Art Museum. The Delaware Art Museum is one of the few museums in the country with a major collection of American illustration, so visitors to Frank E. Schoonover: An Artist for All Seasons will be able to view his work in context with illustrations by his teacher, Howard Pyle, and his peers.
