| Introduction |
Faith Ringgold is a famous artist and writer of African-American origin. She well-known for introducing her own forms of art such as soft sculpture, masks and story quilts. She was the first female artist to give sewing, fabric, weaving and embroidery the transformation from craft to some serious subject of art. Being a victim of the racial discrimination in personal as well as professional life, she used her talent to propagate her life as well as the harm this evil brought to the society at large. Her work as an artist cum social activist was mainly aimed at fostering racial unity especially in the New York art fraternity. Her effort to get away with the stereotypes of black culture is clearly evident in the political and feminist issues she has depicted in her work especially through her paintings and quilts. Faith has almost 75 awards to her credit including the honorary doctor of fine arts. Having written a number of books for children, she is presently a faculty at the University of California. |
