Description

This major new catalogue looks closely at Horace Pippin (1888–1946) as an artist who was embraced by the art world, yet remained independent. A self-taught master of form, colour and composition, Pippin vividly depicted a range of subject matter, from scenes of war, history and religion, to sporting scenes, floral still lifes and intimate family moments.

Accompanying a major exhibition at the Brandywine River Museum of Art, the book is the first examination of the artist’s work for over 20 years and is an opportunity to re-examine Pippin with fresh eyes. His development as a self-aware, self-taught artist will be explored in depth, looking at the rich pictorial language and multi-layered narratives of his paintings.

Features 71 plates and 75 comparative illustrations.
