Summary: As a child in the late 1800s, Horace Pippin loved to draw: He loved the feel of charcoal as it slid across the floor. He loved looking at something in the room and making it come alive again in front of him. He drew pictures for his sisters, his classmates, his co-workers. Even during WWI, Horace filled his notebooks with drawings from the trenches...until he was shot. Upon his return home, Horace couldn't lift his right arm, and couldn't make any art. Slowly, with lots of practice, he regained use of his arm, until once again, he was able to paint--and paint, and paint! Soon, people--including the famous painter N.C. Wyeth--started noticing Horace's art, and before long, his painting were displayed in galleries and museums across the country. (from amazon.com)
