Faith Ringgold

Faith Ringgold (b 1934) The Sunflower Quilting Bee at Arles 1991 Acrylic on canvas, tie-dyed, pieced fabric border 74 x 80" Private Collection

I see this painting as emotionalism. It shows happiness in the unity of people. It definatly falls under the category of people and places It shows a very crowded space, but much with nature and flowers. It also has a lot of use of line. And it has many different shapes. It has the connection with DaVinchi's Sunflower painting. The painting has many of them in it. I'm not sure why the connection was made though.
