Exhibition (art of acclaimed artist Faith Ringold) to be unveiled at the National Museum of Women.
Faith Ringgold’s pointed political paintings of the 1960’s are the focus of “American People, Black Light: Faith Ringgold’s Paintings of the 1960s,” an exhibition on view at the National Museum of Women in the Arts (NMWA) June 21–November 10, 2013.
The exhibition explores the emotional and at times contentious issues that were at the forefront of her experience of racial inequality in the United States during the 1960s. Ringgold created bold, provocative paintings in direct response to the Civil Rights and feminist movements. With only a few exceptions, these once influential paintings disappeared from view, omitted from critical art-historical discourse for more than 40 years. The exhibition includes 45 works from the landmark series “American People” (1963–67) and “Black Light” (1967–71), along with related murals and political posters.
