Faith Ringgold opened the door for younger artists — for artists after her, Black artists in particular — to carry their message through these alternative kinds of media.

Celebrating Black History Month with a selection of artworks and the art history of Black American artists.
Tar Beach Story Quilt • # 1 of 5 in the series Woman on a Bridge • 1988 • Acrylic paint, canvas, printed fabric, ink, and thread • The Guggenheim Museum, New York City
Ringgold’s creates quilts — a traditional American craft associated with women’s communal work that also has roots in African culture. She originally collaborated on the quilt motif with her mother, a dressmaker and fashion designer in Harlem. That Ringgold’s great-great-great-grandmother was a Southern slave who made quilts for plantation owners suggests a further, perhaps deeper, connection between her art and her family history. – The Guggenheim Museum
