“Abudant Evidence: Black Women Artists of the 1960s and 1970s”Double the obstacles proves that black female artists were faced with the double the obstacles as other female artist. It had to have been especially hard to gain any type of recognition during such a tumultuous time for social justice during the ‘60s and ‘70s. Even within the Black community women artists were being ignored for the Black male artists and then even more so by the greater community due to them being Black and female. The fact that many of these women saw these two levels of discrimination as an equal and took them both head on was an impressive strategy. Like many things, it seemed the only way to truly attract the necessary attention and possible respect was to be somethwat radical in the artwork produced in the time period. A great example of that was shown through Faith Ringgold. In the article she explains the concepts behind some her artwork and many of the explanations struck me interestingly., especially on the “Flag is Bleeding” piece of work she put together. The social commentary that could surround such a piece has to be interesting and insightful. Ringgold along with other female artists does a great job of conveying her strong social messages in a way that it become difficult to ignore them, which seems to be the exact point in doing all of this.
