🎨✊🏾HORACE PIPPIN ✊🏾🎨 Horace pippen esteemed painter known for his renderings of the African-American experience, as well as biblical and historical imagery. He was Born February 22, 1888, in West Chester, Pennsylvania. Upon joining the army, he was sent overseas to France to fight in WWI as part of the African-American 369th Infantry, aka Harlem's Hell Fighters.Horace Pippin created art throughout his childhood and in the war, lost the use of his drawing arm. Eventually he used a poker to hold up his right arm, which he used to make art, and began drawing again as a therapeutic outlet. He relied on his left hand to guide his right to complete his first post-war work, Losing the Way (1930). After his work was featured in a hometown, he became part of a traveling group exhibit with the Museum of Modern Art in 1938. Pippin portrayed scenes of African-American life as seen in Domino Players (1943) and Harmonizing (1944) and was noted for his biblical paintings like Christ and the Woman of Samaria (1940) as well as his own richly textured self-portraits as well. Dying July 6, 1946, Major exhibitions of his work have been curated after his death at institutions like the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. A digitized collection of Pippin's notebooks and letters, including some of his experiences as a youth and later enduring the war, are available online at the Archives of American Art as part of the Smithsonian Institution. #oxg #blackartist #blackcreatives #blackhistory365 #painters
