In The American People Series 20: Die, how is the abstract discussed?
The American People Series #20: Die is an oil on canvas painting made by American artist Faith Ringgold in 1967. Inspired by Pablo Picasso's painting Guernica (1937) and painted amidst the riots and uprisings of the 1960s, Die is a two-panel work depicting a group of Black and white men, women, and children, most of whom are wounded or covered in blood, variously fighting, fleeing, or dying against an abstract grey background. The piece has been extensively cited as among Ringgold's most important and iconic artworks.
