{"product_id":"ringgold-american-people-series-20","title":"Ringgold: American People Series #20","description":"Faith Ringgold was painting murals in an empty Manhattan gallery during the Long Hot  Summer of 1967, when police brutality erupted across the country in response to citizen  uprisings, and the Black Arts Movement continued to gain momentum. In this time  and place, Ringgold's  American People Series #20: Die  was born. Influenced by figures  such as Leroi Jones (soon to be Amiri Baraka) and James Baldwin, her American People  series registers how her perspective evolved as the integrationist ethos of the civil rights  movement shifted to the nationalist one of Black Power. The adults in  Die  are shown in a  tangled spectacle of bloodshed and chaos. Unnoticed by them, two children below cower  together.  Die  represents a canny negotiation of Ringgold's position as a black woman in  an art world then still largely segregated by race and gender.","brand":"The Museum of Modern Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42664972353572,"sku":"9781633450677","price":29.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/9734\/0196\/files\/9781633450677.jpg?v=1773239116","url":"https:\/\/thamesandhudson.com.au\/products\/ringgold-american-people-series-20","provider":"Thames \u0026 Hudson Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
