Collection: Horace Pippin

Horace Pippin was born as a free man only 23 years after the official end of slavery in the United States. His grandparents, however, were slaves.

Horace Pippin was a self-taught African-American artist. After losing the use of his right arm in a World War I, he discovered painting late in life. However, he became the first African-American primitive painter to receive international recognition.
