フィラデルフィア美術館さんのインスタグラム写真 - (フィラデルフィア美術館Instagram)「Human rights and social issues often figure in Horace Pippin’s work, but this painting is particularly clear in its treatment of racism. At the center, "Mr. Prejudice" drives a wedge into a symbolic V of victory that divides the composition in two, segregating the black and white machinists and military servicemen. Clouds hover above a hooded member of the Ku Klux Klan and a burly white man holding a noose. They stand opposite the Statue of Liberty, here brown instead of green. Pippin was injured while serving in a division of African American soldiers during World War I, and he included himself among the black soldiers in the painting, with his wounded arm hanging straight down at his side. Although made by Pippin in 1943, "Mr. Prejudice" serves as a reminder of a racial divide that persists. Before we closed the doors to the museum in March, this work was on view as part of the exhibition "Horace Pippin: From War to Peace," which can now be explored on our website. • "Mr. Prejudice," 1943, by Horace Pippin」6月13日 2時37分
