Books By or About Faith Ringgold

Thank you for choosing to find out more about Ms. Ringgold. For a first hand account of her life, inspirational stories and answers to your questions please read "We Flew Over the Bridge: TheMemoirs of Faith Ringgold."

Two books with Faith Ringgold's large color reproductions, quilt text, essays and more;"Dancing at the Louvre: Faith Ringgold's French Collection and Other Stories" and "Faith Ringgold: A View from the Studio."

If you want to focus your research on Ms Ringgold's work from the 60's and 70's read Art on Fire by Lisa Farrington and to see a full color catalog with lots of pictures of Faith Ringgold’s early works take a look at, American People Black Light: Faith Ringgold’s paintings of the 1960’s.

Young readers should reference, Talking to Faith Ringgold by Ringgold, Freeman and Roucher and Getting to Know the Worlds Greatest Artists is great for the classroom (there’s a video of this one too).

A Letter to My Daughter, Michele by Faith Ringgold
 available from Amazon and Kindle  (2016)

There has been a deafening silence around this booksince I wrote it 
in 1980, 35 years ago. Why is Mother not allowed the freedom of 
speech to critique daughter? Is daughter perfect or is it Mother who 
is undeniably flawed? Lets find out why Daughter can critique Mother 
but Mother must and has maintained a deafening silence? 
Why is this? What is this? - Faith Ringgold
