Paintings by self-taught American artist Horace Pippin, 1940s, who took up painting after injuring his arm fighting in WWI and became known for his works exploring daily life of Black Americans as well as pop culture and history. He became the first Black subject of an artist monograph in 1947, shortly after his death.
