Faith Ringgold could not paint black figures and used green and orange instead

Evidence

Here Ringgold accounts for the difficulty she faced in referring to the black image by stating that she painted people green or orange because she was unable to use black. Ringgold here is also experimenting with the critical and political implication in aesthetic research within the visual. — David Theo Goldberg, John Solomos, A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies, 2892
