Horace Pippin was a self-taught, African-American painter whose art documented slavery and his experiences in World War I.
Horace Pippin was born on February 22, 1888, in West Chester, Pennsylvania. Injured during WWI, Pippin taught himself to paint in order to regain the use of his right arm.

Pippin was featured in an exhibition at New York City's Museum of Modern Art in 1938. He died in 1946.
