Horace Pippin Inspirational Quotes (5)

The war brought out all the art in me.

The pictures come to me in my mind, and if to me it is a worthwhile picture I paint it I do over the picture several times in my mind and when I am ready to paint it I have all the details I need.

My opinion of art is that a man should have love for it, because my idea is that he paints from his heart and mind.

Pictures just come to my mind and I tell my heart to go ahead.

If a man knows nothing but hard times, he will paint them, for he must be true to himself.
