    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[In Jo Baker’s Birthday, Faith Ringgold depicts Josephine Baker, a 20th century multidisciplinary artist and activist whose life and experiences Ringgold deeply identifies with. Baker poses semi-nude, gazing back at the viewer self-confidently, secure in her empowerment and status as an unequivocal icon of women’s sexual liberation. Her surroundings and Ringgold’s composition are appropriated from famous European paintings, notably Henri Matisse’s  Harmony in Red (1908) and Odalisque Couchée aux Magnolias (Odalisque Lying with Magnolias) (1923). Ringgold’s subtle nods to art history simultaneously highlight the influence of African culture on European Modernism which often appropriated African forms while dehumanizing and othering African cultures and peoples. Originating from Ringgold’s quilt series The French Collection, this serigraph was printed by Berkeley Art Center and Alliance Graphics for the 10x10: Ten Women/Ten Prints portfolio commemorating the ratification of the 19th Amendment, which made it illegal to deny the right to vote based on sex. ]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Jump on One Foot, One Foot]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Saar’s gestural print of a girl jumping rope escapes the charm typically associated with childhood play, instead infusing the scene with the vigor of the child’s rapid movement. The smudges of ink at the girl’s feet evoke dust kicked up by the rope hitting the ground as her undefined edges animate her brisk jumping. Saar takes full advantage of the painterly qualities of monotype printmaking, in which paper is pressed against a surface applied with ink, often with a brush. Because the plate is not incised like an etching, the design is typically printed only once. This monotype demonstrates the continuity and experimentation of Saar’s printmaking practice in her mature career, well after she began making her acclaimed assemblages in the late 1960s.]]></dcterms:description>
