A thought on letting your heart take the lead

“Pictures just come to my mind and I tell my heart to go ahead.”
— Horace Pippin

The painter Horace Pippin made this comment in an interview for American Artist magazine, published in 1945, the year before his death. One of the foremost Black artists of the 20th century, his subject matter ranged widely, from self portraits to religious themes to racism in Jim Crow America.
