Fair use image
Just to keep track of things, I opened up a question about adding a non-free image under "fair use" at this link.-- CaroleHenson (talk) 06:44, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

Horace Pippin in the public domain?
Considering Pippin died in 1946, is his work in the public domain? — Preceding unsigned comment added by GabrielGGD (talk • contribs) 16:08, 13 July 2016 (UTC)

Citation needed in lead
It looks like some claims in the lead paragraph are not thoroughly cited. The first sentence asserting Pippin's status as the most successful African-American artist of the 1940s is not supported by the source that follows it which says, "He is acclaimed to be one of America's best primitive artists". Is there a better source for this or should it be removed? --Meierblue (talk) 19:49, 5 March 2020 (UTC)


 * It's been deleted. To call somebody "arguably the most" anything is an expression of opinion, and opinion generally does not belong in the lead sentence of an article. With a source it could go back in an appropriate section. Ewulp (talk) 03:08, 6 March 2020 (UTC)

Correction for End of War
The line: "His first oil painting,The Ending of the War, Starting Home, depicts a military engagement resembling the assault on Sechault, in which he was wounded and his regiment was decimated." is incorrect. This picture depicts the cease-fire on November 11. At that time Pippin would have been recovering in a hospital after his arm was shot in October.Meierblue (talk) 13:55, 4 May 2020 (UTC)Meierblue
