This volume sheds new light on how the disabled combat veteran claimed his place in the contemporary art world. Organized around topics of autobiography, black labor, artistic process, and gift exchange, it reveals the range of references and critiques encoded in his work and the racial, class, and cultural dynamics that informed his meteoric career. \u003ci\u003eHorace Pippin, American Modern\u003c\/i\u003e offers a fresh perspective on the artist and his moment that contributes to a more expansive history of art in the 20th century. Featuring over 60 of Pippin's paintings, this volume also includes two previously unknown artist's statements--\"The Story of Horace Pippin as told by Himself\" and \"How I Paint\"--and an exhibition history and list of artworks drawn from new research.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anne Monahan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300243308\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300243307\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/25\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.30h x 8.30w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2020 pg. 116\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2020","brand":"Anne Monahan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44044765167871,"sku":"9780300243307","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_25aa1f93-867f-491f-84b1-3938425d47fb.jpg?v=1684974758","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/horace-pippin-american-modern-anne-monahan-9780300243307","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
