Horace Pippin

- In October 1918, Pippin was shot in the right shoulder by a German soldier. When he returned to West Chester to recuperate, he began his art practice in earnest. He adapted to his injury by supporting his right wrist with his left arm, which served as a kind of physical therapy.

- His disability limited the scale of his paintings which are relatively small as a result.

- Pippin's work was exhibited for the first time by the art critic Christian Brinton, who arranged to have his paintings shown at the West Chester Community Center in 1937, marking the onset of Pippin's swift rise to fame (Conn, 6)

Thoughts for reorganizing wiki page
- Expand artworks section

- Organize more or less by subject matter

- WWI (End of War, memoir illustrations, Mr. Prejudice)

- Biblical (Christ..., Holy Mountain series)

- Historical (Lincoln, John Brown)

- Genre (Domino Players, After Supper, Harmonizing, Old Black Joe, Cabin in the Cotton series)

- Landcape (Birmingham Meeting House series, West Chester, Pennsylvania, The Buffalo Hunt, Lady of the Lake)

- Portrait (Self-Portraits, My Wife, Marian Anderson)

WWI
- His illustrations detailed the inventions of modern warfare - The "Harlem Hellfighters" were the longest serving American infantry to serve in the war.

- All but one of his pictures depicting the war could have been rendered from first hand experience. The End of War takes place after Pippin was honorably discharged.

- Of the war, Pippin stated: it "brought out all the art in me" (Stein, 3)

- He earned a Croix de Guerre from the french government for honorable service as well as a Purple Heart, which was awarded retroactively in (year) (Stein, 3).

Biblical Pictures
- Pippin was raised in the African Episcopal Methodist Church and maintained his religious -- throughout his life, singing in his church choir and teaching Sunday school in adulthood.

- First biblical painting, Christ..., was a commission.

Historical Works
- Created 4 pictures of Lincoln and 3 of John Brown

- These works can be correlated with an effort by black artists to write a "Negro History", to historicize....., in anticipation of the 75th anniversary of the 13th amendment.
