In 1946, less than a decade after he catapulted to fame, Pippin died in his sleep of a stroke. He was buried in West Chester. A half century after his death, the work of this artist from no man's land continues to move viewers with its direct honesty and emotional intensity. As befits an artist of his stature, Pippin's paintings hang today in museums across the country and in distinguished private collections.
