FROM THE BARNES FOUNDATION’S CATALOG
An African American artist from West Chester, Pennsylvania, Horace Pippin took a class here at the Barnes in 1940. That same year he traveled throughout the country painting landscapes and scenes from the lives of African Americans. This work, showing a humble family in an interior, may have been made on that trip. Pippin often painted on wood, carving his composition with a hot poker before adding color.
