Reilly at the Art Student League and at The Frank Reilly of Art. During my time with Mr. Reilly (as all the students addressed him) I served as one of his drawing class monitors for two years. Frank Reilly was a genius instructor who was a master craftsman, and possessed and developed a vast body of knowledge on the craft of drawing, painting, and picture making which he was uniquely able to impart to his students. Sadly a great deal of what he taught is undocumented. Reilly had a great gift, he could (and did) identify what in a student's work needed to be improved before the student could truly advance. Reilly had many influence but beyond doubt the greatest was the great illustrator Dean Cornwell. Perhaps I can answer some questions on Reilly, I'll be happy to take them on.

I have read as much as I can about Frank J. Reilly and students of his who have written books. Does anyone have an old textbook or Frank Reilly or can tell me who I can contact who might have one.

It is my conclusion that Dumond taught the palette to Reilly. I would love to hear comments on this. Tony I have done some research on the palette used by Reilly and Dumond.

Is that school still around? Probably not...but his teaching left a great impression on me.

Reilly's impact on the world of illustration was profound. The "Reilly Method" is still talked about at the league and I hope this article leads to a better understanding of his work and important legacy to the craft and discipline of illlustration and drawing.

I tried to find some online images and info about Reilly's predecessor at the Art Student's League, George Bridgeman. While his excellent <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/102-4443550-7512140?ie=UTF8&index=books&rank=-relevance%2C%2Bavailability%2C-daterank&field-author-exact=George%20B.%20Bridgman">books</a> are widely available, I was surprised that I conltn't find much of anything online about him. Thanks, Michael.

I'd never heard of Reilly until you mentioned him (I'm in the UK so it was slightly unlikely!). Now I'm going to dig a bit deeper into his methods and his successors. Thanks! Excellent post!
