项目摘要

Horace Pippin (1888-1946) is the sole African American soldier serving in World War I to have created both a visual - consisting of both preparatory sketches and oil paintings - and textual archive comprising a series of untranscribed, phonetically written autobiographical fragments. The primary but not sole purpose of this project is to complete the research and writing of a 90,000 word book entitled, 'Suffering and Sunset: Horace Pippin's World War I Manuscripts and Paintings,' contracted to the University Press of Virginia and due February 2012. Based on archives held at the Smithsonian Archives of American Art, the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture and Chester County Historical Society, this book will not only consist of a 70,000 word monograph investigating Horace Pippin's life and works in relation to his World War I experiences but will also provide the first critical edition of his four unpublished autobiographies (a total of 20,000 words). Written with the aim of addressing his widespread neglect within art history, this monograph will recontextualise, retheorise and reexamine Pippin's life and works with a particular emphasis upon his World War I writings, paintings and illustrations. More particularly, this research will investigate his self-reflexive relationship to aesthetics, narrative, politics and history as he dramatised his 'life story of art' across diverse drawings, illustrations and oil paintings as well as his unpublished prose and correspondence. This study will begin by examining Pippin's importance as a World War I writer, particularly in diverse relation to a number of mainstream, primarily white, American artists turned diarists and autobiographers of the war as well as a rich array of under-researched African American autobiographers, poets, novelists and dramatists. The book will then analyse Pippin's World War I paintings in depth not only to extrapolate further from his insistence that art was a way to exorcise his 'blue spells' but also to re-evaluate his work in relation to his declarations of artistic independence as he informed his sponsors, 'Don't tell me how to paint.' Utilising key intellectual approaches by theorists of African American art history (Powell, hooks, Wallace, Stein, Wilson et al), this research will problematise popular representations of Pippin variously as an untutored naïf, a spiritual visionary and an indigenous painter. Another aim of this book will be to situate Pippin's oeuvre within the context of works produced by other African American artists (Edwin Harleston, Malvin Gray Johnson, William H. Johnson et al) similarly engaged in providing experimental representations of war and in resisting as well as signifying upon the political, intellectual and aesthetic influences of a white dominated art world. The book will then address the role of the white editor in relation to Pippin's manuscripts not only to confront the publishing difficulties which have beset African American authors for centuries but also to situate his work alongside other World War I texts produced by African American writers. Concluding with annotated typescripts including footnotes, a glossary and a bibliography, this book will aim to show that Pippin's dramatic canvases can be best understood in conjunction with his evocative manuscripts as they testify to his powerful conviction, 'I cannot forget suffering and I will not forget sunset.'

霍勒斯·皮平（Horace Pippin，1888-1946）是第一次世界大战中唯一一位既创作了视觉作品（包括预备素描和油画），又创作了文本档案（包括一系列未转录的、按语音书写的自传片段）的非裔美国士兵。这个项目的主要但不是唯一的目的是完成一个90，000字的书，题为“苦难和日落：霍勒斯皮平的第一次世界大战的手稿和绘画，”承包给弗吉尼亚大学出版社，并由于2012年2月的研究和写作。根据史密森美国艺术档案馆，Schomburg黑人文化研究中心和切斯特县历史学会的档案，这本书不仅包括一本70，000字的专著，调查Horace Pippin的生活和作品，与他的第一次世界大战经历有关，而且还将提供他的四本未出版的自传的第一个关键版本（共2万字）。写的目的是解决他在艺术史上普遍忽视，这本专著将recontextualise，retheorise和重新审视皮平的生活和作品，特别强调他的第一次世界大战的著作，绘画和插图。更具体地说，这项研究将探讨他的自我反思的关系，美学，叙事，政治和历史，因为他戏剧化他的“艺术的生活故事”在不同的图纸，插图和油画，以及他未发表的散文和信件。这项研究将开始通过检查皮平的重要性，作为一个第一次世界大战作家，特别是在不同的关系，一些主流，主要是白色，美国艺术家变成日记和自传作家的战争，以及丰富的一系列研究不足的非洲裔美国人自传作家，诗人，小说家和剧作家。然后，这本书将深入分析皮平的第一次世界大战绘画，不仅从他坚持认为艺术是一种驱除他的“蓝色咒语”的方式中进一步推断，而且还重新评估了他的作品，因为他告诉他的赞助商，“不要告诉我如何绘画。“利用非裔美国人艺术史理论家（鲍威尔，钩子，华莱士，斯坦，威尔逊等）的关键知识方法，这项研究将使皮平的流行表现成为一个未受教育的天真，一个精神上的幻想家和一个土著画家。这本书的另一个目的是将皮平的作品与其他非洲裔美国艺术家的作品结合起来。约翰逊等人）同样致力于提供战争的实验性表现，并抵制和象征白色主导的艺术世界的政治、智力和美学影响。然后，这本书将解决的作用，白色编辑皮平的手稿不仅要面对出版的困难，困扰了几个世纪的非洲裔美国作家，但也将他的工作与其他第一次世界大战文本产生的非洲裔美国作家。最后，本书将以包括脚注、词汇表和参考书目在内的注释打字稿结束，旨在表明皮平的戏剧性画布可以与他令人回味的手稿结合在一起得到最好的理解，因为它们证明了他强大的信念，“我不能忘记痛苦，我不会忘记日落。'
