Catalogue Note
Judith E. Stein writes in I Tell My Heart: The Art of Horace Pippin, "Even wartime disruption figures prominently as a staging element for several of the still lifes and 'Victorian' interiors. Victory Vase of 1942 and Victory Garden of 1943 acknowledge World War II two years before Pippin deplored its violence in the Edenic settling of the Holy Mountain series. Both Victory Vase and Victory Garden were products of the community victory gardens that sprang up across the country to meet wartime shortages and calls to rally the domestic front."
