Notes
This is a biography of Horace Pippin, a ground-breaking African-American painter who not only suffered from but also staged many artful resistances to racism in a white-dominated art world. The book is in this particular category, as opposed to that of Biographies, because Pippin's service in the war, in the 369th African American Infantry, influenced not only his life but also his art. The book, of course, features many of Pippin's paintings, but above all it is the story of a remarkable man living through a remarkable era.
