For the Women's House by Faith Ringgold speaks a lot of volume to every race, culture and beliefs. Ringgold may have painted the wall painting to represent the finish of the long road out of jail, yet the wall painting additionally proceeded with disparity that women face in many professions. The wall painting even looks additionally not far off, including a female African-American President addressing a gathering of journalists. In spite of the fact that the present day may still be present it made need to make up for lost time to Faith Ringgold's helpful vision, us women need to continue to fight for equality.

Faith Ringgold was born in Faith Will Jones on October 8, 1930, in the Harlem in New York City. She was raised during the Harlem Renaissance. As she suffered asthma as a young lady, Ringgold invested a lot of free time at home with her mom, fashion designer who showed her to sew and work inventively with textures.
All through her high school years, Ringgold likewise built up an enthusiasm for craftsmanship, and when she graduated she wounded up transforming her enthusiasm into a vocation. Enlisting at the City College of New York in 1950, she ended up studying art education.





Tim Okamura is a contemporary Canadian painter known for his portrayal of African-American and minority subjects in urban settings, and his blend of spray painting and authenticity. His work has been included in a few noteworthy movies and in London's National Portrait Gallery. He was likewise one of a few craftsmen to be shortlisted in 2006 for a proposed picture of Queen Elizabeth of England. The image above is a redo of Rosie the breadwinner. Rosie the Breadwinner reminds us of our abilities. She stands for, women, unite, nurture and empower yourself!  No longer do we need to act tough and be just like men to be powerful.

In today's world hip-hop and culture is a popular form of expressing the way we feel, interpret and live our lives on a daily basis. Okamura influence is hip-hop. He uses the culture and day-to-day struggles into his pieces. His intense but deep pieces all speak volume about equality for women mostly. I chose the painting above because the piece shows that women can do exactly what men can do. We Can Do It!" is an American wartime poster made by J. Howard Miller in 1943 for Westinghouse Electric as an inspirational image to boost female worker morale.Tim made a duplicate to show not only women but African American women can also do it.
