Thursday, November 5, 2015
UCSB Center for Black Studies Research
Celeste-Marie Bernier traces the life story of Horace Pippin, a self-made artist and World War I soldier who transformed his combat service into canvases and autobiographies with emotive power, psychological depth, and haunting realism.
Bernier illustrates Pippin's status as a groundbreaking African American painter who not only suffered from but also staged many artful resistances to racism in a white-dominated art world.
