Gas Alarm Outpost, Argonne (1931-37) — it was the first of his that I saw in person, and the vibrancy of the sky seems so jarring. How dare the sky be beautiful on a day of such horror? And I always care about artist biographies (sometimes more than the art itself!), and his service in WWI is critical to understanding his oeuvre.
will be trying those eggs (and bonus points for the Horace Pippin!)
Hello, Estrella - I am glad you're here. I hope you love the eggs! I'm glad you liked the Pippin painting too. What's your favorite work of his?

I will be looking up this painting asap. Thank you, Estrella!
So glad I get to celebrate Christmas with you!!!
