The artwork titled “Interior” was created by Horace Pippin in 1944, and is associated with the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement. This piece falls under the genre of ‘interior.’
In the artwork, a scene is depicted within a modest, sparsely furnished room. The room has wooden floors and white walls, with a black-framed window and a prominent wood-burning stove on the right side. A woman, dressed in white and wearing a red-patterned headscarf, is seated near the stove, appearing to engage in a domestic activity. At the center of the room, a child sits on a colorful patchwork quilt, possibly playing or reading. On the left side, another individual, possibly a man, is seen tending to a table covered with a red-checkered cloth. The room is adorned with a few striped rugs, and everyday household objects are scattered around, contributing to the homely and intimate ambiance of the scene. The overall style is characteristic of Naïve Art, with a straightforward and unrefined depiction that reflects a sense of simplicity and earnestness.
