Philadelphia Museum of Art
A bequest includes three important works by the self-taught African American painter Horace Pippin, including
The Getaway (1939), a stark winter scene in which a fox makes off with a bird in its mouth;
Study for Barracks (1945), which conveys the everyday activity of African American combat soldiers in a dugout during World War II;
and The Park Bench (1946), which is often interpreted as a psychological portrait of the artist and was painted in the last year of his life.
