Born in rural Edgecombe County, NC, Pittman moved to Pennsylvania in 1918. After several one-man shows in Philadelphia, he was represented in the 1933 exhibition "Painting and Sculpture from 16 American Cities" held at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, NY. A celebrated regionalist, Pittman work was exhibited extensively during his lifetime and beyond.

Sheet light struck; several smudges; few pinholes at edges (possibly from artist hanging); pastel needs spray fixative.
