Artifactual History Appraisal is delighted to announce yet another new video series, "Zoom In." This series will examine specific artists, designers, and other topics of interest and literally 'zoom in' on interesting things we see, all while we are literally 'zoomin'. Get it? In this first Zoom In video, we look at West Chester, PA artist, Horace Pippin. We'll briefly review Pippin's life and career, take a close look at works depicting Pippin's (and Patrick's) hometown of West Chester, Pennsylvania, and discuss what the current market for his work looks like. Along the way, we'll touch on World War I, have words with Albert Barnes, and take a good and long gleeful gander at Smedley Butler.
