♠ Ringgold, nascida greenbets.io login 1930 greenbets.io login Harlem durante o Renascimento de Harlem, draws inspiration from ♠ the tumultuous social realities she lived through.

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 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?"

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