Pippin, who received no formal art training, developed a technique of "carving" into his panels with a hot poker. Here, burnt-wood lines (incised over pencil) construct the chair, windowpanes, door panels, and contours of the figures.

Cabin in the Cotton, Horace Pippin, 1931, Art Institute of Chicago: American Art

The self-taught artist Horace Pippin began painting as a means of therapy, hoping to regain the mobility of his right arm, which had been injured in World War I. He became one of the most celebrated African American artists of the mid-twentieth century, as critics acclaimed the power and authenticity of his “primitive” style. Cabin in the Cotton, the painting that brought him to the attention of the art world, displays Pippin’s vivid, saturated palette and feeling for intense pattern. Living in Pennsylvania, Pippin may have seen cotton fields during visits to relatives in the South, but it is more likely that he drew on popular culture for inspiration. The way of life in the rural South enjoyed a great vogue in the 1930s, with the premiere of George Gershwin’s opera Porgy and Bess in 1935 and the publication of Margaret Mitchell’s Gone with the Wind in 1936. In particular, the painting’s composition recalls the opening and closing sequences of the 1932 film Cabin in the Cotton, starring Bette Davis. In that year, both Bing Crosby and Cab Calloway made recordings of a song titled “Cabin in the Cotton.” In 1937 Christian Brinton, an influential art critic, and N. C. Wyeth, the famous illustrator, discovered Cabin in the Cotton in the window of a shoe-repair shop in West Chester, Pennsylvania, and convinced Pippin to begin exhibiting. Newspapers then widely reported that the actor Charles Laughton had purchased the painting, prompting other celebrities and art collectors, as well as museums, to acquire Pippin’s work, which assured his lasting fame. Restricted gift in memory of Frances W. Pick from her children Thomas F. Pick and Mary P. Hines Size: 51 × 85 cm (20 × 33 1/2 in.) Medium: Oil on cotton mounted on Masonite

Breakdown with a Flat Tire, 1940 by William H. Johnson.. I love everything about this piece.. Everyone looks extremely happy to change the tire, and most likely, were just happy to be able to afford the car. I like how the carriage looks like a house and the front hood seems to be shaped like the roof of a church ⛪️. The faces of the subjects remind me of #HoracePippin works but a lot more playful. • #ArtAboveReality #LookWhatArtFound #Inspiring #Art #Curator #ContemporaryArt #FineArt #ArtMarket #ContemporaryPainting #CollectArt #ContemporaryArtCollectors #LiveWithArt #ArtConsultant #ShotOniPhone #Museum #ContemporaryArtist #ArtistsOnInstagram #News #Printer #WilliamHJohnson #AtSAAM (at Smithsonian American Art Museum and the Renwick Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxvaewQnU9m/?igshid=1c6qgj2e8yzsh

"Buena Mulata Pepper" and "Pippin" were handwritten on a baby food jar that a young William Woys Weaver found in the bottom of the deep freezer in his grandmother’s basement, a decade after his plant-loving grandfather’s untimely death. If you’ve heard of the Fish Pepper, this story probably sounds familiar. There were many important and beautiful varieties of seeds in that lucky freezer, and many that passed from Philly- and Baltimore-based Black caterers' hands to now-famed painter Horace Pippin, including this purple-to-red cayenne type Buena Mulata. Seeds stay viable longer in the freezer; our heirlooms only survive if someone finds them in storage and places them in soil; and stories only live when they are told. I'm bringing these to Portland, OR to be included in a dish created by Sam Smith of @tuskpdx that will highlight the Fagiolina del Trasimeno at the @culinarybreedingnetwork Variety Showcase on Monday night. #buenamulata #cayenne #capsicumannuum #williamwoysweaver #roughwoodseedcollection #seedsaving #seedkeeping #seedstories #horacepippin #buenamulatapepper #culinarybreedingnetwork (at The Nines, A Luxury Collection Hotel, Portland, OR)

#CelebratingBlackHistory Artist: Horace Pippin (1888-1946) Artwork: John Brown Going To His Hanging, 1942 Background: #HoracePippin is recognized as one of the premier self-taught artists of this century. A native of West Chester, Pennsylvania, he depicted his local environment in numerous images. He also explored historical subjects, such as this homage to the fiery abolitionist John Brown. A white man who became a martyr for the anti-slavery cause, Brown occupied a special place in African-American memory throughout much of the twentieth century. Pippin depicted him as a quietly heroic figure in three separate paintings: "John Brown Reading His Bible," "The Trial of John Brown" and this image. One of the artist's most famous works, "John Brown Going to His Hanging" pictures the controversial figure on the way to his death. A crowd has gathered to watch (presumably cheer) Brown's execution, the black woman at lower right who, scowling, refuses to participate in the event. According to family legend, Pippin's grandmother was present at the hanging. By including her - the only black figure in any of the artist's history paintings - Pippin emphasized his personal connection to Brown's legacy of black liberation. This work was exhibited in and purchased from the Pennsylvania Academy's 1943 annual exhibition. - Text via @pafamuseum. • #ArtAboveReality #LookWhatArtFound #Inspiring #Art #Curator #ContemporaryArt #FineArt #CollectArt #LiveWithArt #ArtConsultant #BlackArtists #BlackHistoryMonth #ModernArt #ArtHistory #ArtFuture #Pioneer https://www.instagram.com/p/B8HLhOrHlMX/?igshid=sihcdbnobtn8
