<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 9461256, member: 8267&quot;]Welcome, [USER=81519]@antiqueaddict[/USER].</p><p><br /></p><p>May I ask, who first suggested your painting might be by Horace Pippin?</p><p>I am by no means an expert, but looking at other examples of his signed and documented work online, I see very little resemblance in terms of style. Your painting is much busier than his work, and the color palette is quite different.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, authenticating a painting based on style alone is very difficult. It usually requires assessing the materials and technique as well, and even then questions will remain if the painting does not have a well documented history (&quot;provenance&quot;).</p><p><br /></p><p>Yale University Press has recently published an in depth study of Pippin&#039;s paintings, by Anne Monahan. The author is described as an &quot;art historian based in New York&quot;. I don&#039;t know how to reach her, but the publisher might be able to forward a inquiry to her. This book might also provide leads on museums that hold his work, and other curators that might be helpful.</p><p><a href="https://yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300243307/horace-pippin-american-modern/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300243307/horace-pippin-american-modern/" rel="nofollow">https://yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300243307/horace-pippin-american-modern/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
