O falecimento de Ringgold, chat betmotionchat betmotioncasa 🔔 chat betmotion Nova Jersey no sábado, foi relatado primeiramente pelo New York Times.

🔔 Ringgold, nascida chat betmotion 1930 chat betmotion Harlem durante o Renascimento de Harlem, draws inspiration from 🔔 the tumultuous social realities she lived through. As a student, her formal initiation in the arts was almost curtailed by 🔔 the City College of New York's regulations of the time, which restricted women to specific majors - art not being 🔔 one of them. However, Ringgold's determination led her to strike a deal with a school administrator: her art studies were 🔔 contingent upon primarily enrolling in the school of education, where women were allowed. 🔔

After earning her bachelor's degree in fine art 🔔 and education in 1955, Ringgold began teaching art in public schools while developing her own art. She later received a 🔔 master's degree in art from City College in 1959. Her early work was influenced by civil and racial unrest, and 🔔 had powerful political and social tones.

Série "The American People"

🔔 Entre 1963 e 1967, Ringgold portrayed fraught race relations in America in 🔔 a series of paintings titled "The American People Series." The series' final painting, "American People Series 20: Die," is a 🔔 vivid critique of the violent riots of the Civil Rights era. The painting, arguably the series' most famous, gruesomely depicts 🔔 a group of men, women and children brutally attacking one another. It is now part of the Museum of Modern 🔔 Art's permanent collection.

🔔 "I became fascinated with the ability of art to document the time, place, and cultural identity of the 🔔 artist," she told the Museum of Modern Art. "How could I, as an African American woman artist, document what was 🔔 happening around me?"

🔔 Ringgold's early work did not enjoy much success at the time, driving the mother of two to take 🔔 her activism to the streets for causes such as women's representation - especially of Black women - in mainstream art 🔔 exhibitions and collections. In 1970, Ringgold was arrested and charged with desecrating the American flag for co-organizing the "People's Flag 🔔 Show," an exhibition protesting against the Vietnam War, and for artists' First Amendment right to use the flag as material. 🔔

"They 🔔 didn't keep me in for long because the media was watching," she told the New York Times of her sentencing. 🔔
