The voluminous research in Suffering and Sunset takes the reader beyond the realm of art to establish a broad historical base that includes issues of race and identity in American culture. The book gives an unbiased biographical account of the artists everyday activities, much of which is drawn from Pippins war diary and his day-to-day transactions with his art dealer. Salient among Berniers observations about Pippins art and his long journey as a World War I soldier in Europe are the extraordinary experiences he endured in the pursuit of his artistry, some of which were purely racist in nature. Relying heavily on Pippins own personal account of his life as an artist, Bernier paints an indelible word picture of the pain, struggle, and triumph of one of the most important American artists of the twentieth century." David C. Driskell, Distinguished University Professor of Art, Emeritus, University of Maryland, College Park Bernier painstakingly examines Pippins manuscripts, paintings, and sketches to show how his meager written legacy casts revealing light on his other works. The author analyzes Pippins work in exhaustivedetail, comparing the scant information of his wartime experience with the stark monotones in his paintings. [The] in-depth analyses [are] filled with learned conjecture. Kirkus Reviews
