Críticas
"Ringgold provides juicy autobiographical stories, supplemented with personal photographs as well as ample illustrations and descriptions of her work. It is a memoir every artist should read. . . . The book is informative, forthright, and fun, and is a great teaching tool for both emerging and established artists." -- Joyce Owens Anderson * The Journal of African American History * "The story of Ringgold's triumph-achieved through sheer determination, savvy, and self-conviction-is both accessible and inspiring."-Lowery Stokes Sims, executive director, the Studio Museum in Harlem "In words that are as direct, honest, full of color and life as her paintings, Ringgold gives each reader the greatest gift of all-courage to be one's own unique and universal self."-Gloria Steinem "Faith Ringgold's exuberant and original art has made her one of America's more important artists and a feminist heroine. Now her wonderfully honest memoirs will resonate with all political and creative women who are still fighting the battles Ringgold has won."-Lucy Lippard, author of The Pink Glass Swan: Selected Essays on Feminist Art "Faith Ringgold has created a rich and highly informative work not only of her own life as an American in general but as an African American in particular. These memoirs are a part of American history-of what it means to be an artist, a writer, and a philosopher in our society."-Jacob Lawrence "Faith Ringgold has already won my heart as an artist, as a woman, as an African American, and now with her entry into the world of autobiography (where I dwell), she has taken my heart again. She writes so beautifully."-Maya Angelou "Bridging is the major motif of Ringgold's life. . . . She is a bridge between the Harlem Renaissance and the civil rights era. She is a bridge between her mother's applied art of fashion design and her own fine art of painting and story quilts. She is a bridge between the black power movement and the women's movement. And she is a bridge between the abstract art that dominated the `60s and the issue-oriented art that connected with viewers' hearts-and lives."-Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer
Reseña del editor
In We Flew over the Bridge, one of the country's preeminent African American artists-and award-winning children's book authors-shares the fascinating story of her life. Faith Ringgold's artworks-startling "story quilts," politically charged paintings, and more-hang in the Studio Museum in Harlem, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Guggenheim Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, and other major museums around the world, as well as in the private collections of Maya Angelou, Bill Cosby, and Oprah Winfrey. Her children's books, including the Caldecott Honor Book Tar Beach, have sold hundreds of thousands of copies. But Ringgold's path to success has not been easy. In this gorgeously illustrated memoir, she looks back and shares the story of her struggles, growth, and triumphs. Ringgold recollects how she had to surmount a wall of prejudices as she worked to refine her artistic vision and raise a family. At the same time, the story she tells is one of warm family memories and sustaining friendships, community involvement, and hope for the future.
