Why is this work an American Icon?:

Founded by Howard Pyle, the movement went on to profoundly influence an age of illustration that defined how Americans saw our myths, history and ourselves. The Brandywine School of Art went on to influence Maxfield Parish, N.C. Wyeth, Frank Schoonover, Elenore Abbott, Elizabeth Green and Norman Rockwell. The essence of the Brandywine lived on through the paintings of Andrew and Jamie Wyeth.
