Title A name given to the resource Henry Ossawa Tanner: His Boyhood Dream Comes True Description An account of the resource Ringgold’s narrative screen-print, or serigraph, centers on the life of the celebrated African-American painter, Henry Ossawa Tanner (1859-1937). While the text surrounding the central image provides a straight-forward account of a moment in Tanner’s life, the image illustrates in vivid color a pivotal moment which the artist experienced as a child, when Tanner imagined his future as a painter while walking through a park with his father. Like the young Tanner, we see two distinct phases in the painter’s life depicted simultaneously: he is both an inspired boy standing beside his father and a successful painter working before his easel. As viewers, we are invited to engage simultaneously with history and imagine future possibilities. Despite Ringgold’s modest forms and limited color palette, the production process behind this serigraph print requires thorough planning and precision. Master printmaker Curlee Raven Holton, who has worked with Ringgold on numerous prints, is responsible for the careful construction of the final print, as each color must be manually added using a separate screen. The lighter brown pigment used for the faces of both the older and younger versions of Tanner were applied to the paper simultaneously, just as Tanner experienced two phases of his life simultaneously in the moment Ringgold narrates and illustrates in this work.

Title A name given to the resource HooDoo #19 Description An account of the resource This double-sided work exemplifies both Saar’s assemblage practice and her interest in the mystical. Her title references Hoodoo, a syncretic belief system (synthesis of varying religions) practiced by the African Diaspora in the southern U.S. On one side, an African American man in a striped suit and dotted tie, with a cane and pork pie hat is centered in a red frame decorated with stars, crosses, and other icons. He is framed by two plastic swords, a cigar, and another suited man much smaller in scale. On its reverse, a frame dotted with a collection of found objects such as buttons and buckles surrounds a black field onto which Saar marks Hoodoo icons in white crayon. The symmetrical symbols and diagrams drawn on the back of the framed suited man place him in relation to a belief system with ancient roots. Miniature watches and blue eyes on the frame reference the importance of time and vision, further invoking Saar's themes of ancestry and mysticism. As in many of Saar’s assemblages, the inclusion of a dual-sided frame (or window) creates a threshold where Saar invites the viewer to recall the past and imagine the future.

Title A name given to the resource Jazz Stories: Mama Can Sing, Papa Can Blow #2: Come On and Dance with Me Description An account of the resource Faith Ringgold’s Jazz Stories quilt series spotlights women musicians and in Come On and Dance with Me, the high-spirited singer embodies the lyrics with passion and joy. Across her imagery Ringgold centers the importance of African diasporic creativity to both historic and contemporary society, pushing back on limiting narratives that claim these cultures are marginal. Her rebellion extends to engagements with quilts and textiles – materials that are still often overlooked within modernist histories. Originating as a way to bypass censorship, Ringgold’s quilts utilize a domestic, disarming medium to carry nuanced messages and stories that range from deeply interpersonal to cultural and political. Through these masterful artworks, Ringgold adds immeasurably to both the African-American tradition of pictorial story quilts and the canon of modernist and contemporary art. Lyrics for all of Ringgold’s jazz series can be found in the Faith Ringgold Study Room.
