Seems pipes aren't only relegated to works by artists of the 19th and 20th centuries.
My daughter-in-law spotted this at a local art walk.

Given the other elements in the piece, I doubt it's a tobacco pipe 
Thought you guys might get a kick out of this... I know I do! 
The man on the right dropping his pipe.
This is from a children's book "If I built a car" by Chris Van Dusen.
I love the 50s Vibe of the art, the story is actually pretty good, and its my sons favorite book. The fact that he incorporated a pipe in one of the pictures makes me wonder if he's a pipe smoker? I will pick up a few more of his books to see if he captures the same Vibe and possibly more pipes.

I find it interesting that cigars and cigarettes have been removed from a lot of kids books but you'll still catch a pipe here or there. I find it interesting though that people usually react to a pipe as something interesting and more like a hobby then an addiction.
You might be right. But I think it's a tobacco pipe and the other elements seem so bluntly on point that if it they wanted to show something else they would have shown that. And a lot of hippie types view tobacco smoking as part of the shamanic traditions so.... I say it's a tobacco pipe but also that's not the only thing running through that mans bloodstream either.Given the other elements in the piece, I doubt it's a tobacco pipe
I am going with tobacco pipe.

Sunday Gardening, John Philip Falter, 1961.
according to my former neighbors I've been both these fellows.
Seeing what's in his backpack, perhaps he's smoking "Shortcut to Mushrooms"?

Interesting decision indeed.
The viewer meets his painted eyes but his "real eyes" are hidden in the reflection of the mirror AND behind opaque lenses. Curious.
I actually really like this art piece a lot. I wonder if he or she made prints of the original to sell?

In Portinari's "Baile na Roça," you'll notice on the right-hand side a man shown in profile, smoking a pipe as the others dance. He is positioned with his left leg crossed over his right, the tip of his foot elegantly lifted.
Candido Portinari is celebrated as one of the most important and influential artists in Brazil's history.
Portinari, Rio de Janeiro — 1960.

This 1931 painting is by Adrien Henri Vital, a Belgian artist who made his home in Brazil. The work portrays a Black Brazilian woman, adorned with a white turban, smoking a pipe as she washes clothes.

A delightful detail is his frame of reference for self-portraits in the top-right corner: Dürer, Rembrandt, Picasso (a bust of a woman and a self-portrait), and van Gogh.One of my favorites:
Norman Rockwell's Self Portrait
Haha! Too rich for me. But if he/she made prints…. maybe…You could have the original for $1995.00
This fits better in this thread than in the pipe sighting at the movies one…
