of the paintings. The Holy Mountain I is marked with "June 6, 1944", the date of the Allied landings at Normandy, known as of D-Day. The Knowledge of God is marked "Dec. 7 1944," the third anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. Lastly, The Holy Mountain III is marked "Aug 9, 1945", the day the United States dropped an atomic bomb on Nagasaki, Japan. Some have argued that centrally placed shepherd figure resembles the artist. Pippin's dealer Robert Carlen took credit for exposing Pippin to Hicks' series as he was a principle advocate for both self-taught artists. Pippin painted two self portraits, including one seated at the easel. His painting of John Brown Going to his Hanging (1942) is in the collection of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia is part of a trilogy on the abolitionist sometimes credited with igniting the Civil War. Mr. Prejudice, made in the midst of World War II at the request of an unidentified patron, is unique in Pippin's oeuvre for its experimental composition and symbolic program.

The lower left quadrant is filled with Black uniformed military, a medic, and a machinist, most of whom face forward toward the viewer. Some read the brown-skinned figure at center left, outfitted in an anachronistic WWI uniform, as a self-portrait.
