A nuanced reassessment that transforms our understanding of this
self-taught artist Arguably the most successful African American
artist of his day, Horace Pippin (1888-1946) taught himself to
paint in the 1930s and quickly earned international renown for
depictions of World War I, black families, and American heroes
Abraham Lincoln, abolitionist John Brown, and singer Marian
Anderson, among other subjects. This volume sheds new light on how
the disabled combat veteran claimed his place in the contemporary
art world. Organized around topics of autobiography, black labor,
artistic process, and gift exchange, it reveals the range of
references and critiques encoded in his work and the racial, class,
and cultural dynamics that informed his meteoric career. Horace
Pippin, American Modern offers a fresh perspective on the artist
and his moment that contributes to a more expansive history of art
in the 20th century. Featuring over 60 of Pippin's paintings, this
volume also includes two previously unknown artist's
statements-"The Story of Horace Pippin as told by Himself" and "How
I Paint"-and an exhibition history and list of artworks drawn from
new research.
