Andy Warhol frequently appropriated images by other artists for his work. In this case, the image was originally a photograph by Charles Moore in "Life" magazine, May 17, 1963.
[Gallery label text 2013]
This image first appeared in Andy Warhol’s Disasters series, in which the artist selected, cropped, altered, and reproduced mass-circulated news photographs. The series commented upon America’s social ills with photos of suicides, car crashes and nuclear explosions. Birmingham Race Riot captures the racial tensions that gripped the country during the Civil Rights Movement.
Warhol was an eager consumer of newspapers and magazines; he likely saw this photo of the Birmingham riot when it was published in LIFE magazine on May 17, 1963, only five days after the event it immortalized. The original photograph was taken by Charles Moore.

Gallery label text 2013:
Elizabeth Catlett honors the rural working poor in this commanding image of a strong, dignified African American woman fieldworker who, though worn from her labors, maintains her internal fortitude.
Catlett devoted her career as a sculptor and printmaker to addressing issues of social justice, especially the struggles of African American women. “I make work for my people,” Catlett has said, “not for an elite, and I’ve paid a price for my commitment.”
Based on her own experiences, Catlett pursued subjects that were personally significant, such as her grandmother’s stories of slavery and her own experience of being denied admission to the Carnegie Institute of Technology solely on the basis of race.

Until research identifies the sitter, Portrait of a Youth or Portrait of a Young Man may be applied as a more appropriate title.
Unfortunately, the name of this young man was not recorded. The title that the work has carried for many years is further dehumanizing. In the historical moment when this painting was made and exhibited, the term “negro” was commonly used—including by significant African American figures such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Langston Hughes—to refer to a Black person. Today, however, this terminology is outdated and inappropriate.
John Steuart Curry is known for his narrative and landscape paintings of life in his home state of Kansas. When he painted this luminous portrait, he had just returned from studying art in Paris, France.

Entrenched in the social realist movement, which sought to depict the trials and tribulations of all people, Robert Gwathmey focused on the lives of Black sharecroppers in the American South. Non-Fiction shows a once common sight on southern farms: older children tending to the young while adults worked all day in the fields. The barbed wire and minstrel puppet figure symbolize the dual oppressions of segregation and racism.
Born in Virginia and spending much of his life in New York City, Gwathmey spent two summers in the 1940s working alongside Black tobacco farmers in North Carolina. At a time when Black artists in the American South were rarely granted a platform for self-representation, Gwathmey, as a white artist, was able to depict the oppression he witnessed.

In the 1940s, Robert Gwathmey focused his artist’s eye upon the lives of African-American sharecroppers in the South. Non-Fiction shows a common sight on southern farms; older children tended to the young when both parents worked all day in the fields. The barbed wire and minstrel figure symbolize the dual oppressions of segregation and racism.

Painting
Compare the ominous and somber mood of Jacob Lawrence’s Gamblers with the upbeat and optimistic flavor of his painting Summer Street Scene in Harlem (MAG collection). The still and formal arrangement of figures and cards in Gamblers, the delicate floral vine that arches across the canvas, and the casket or tombstone forms behind the standing men create a scene that is very nearly funereal, perhaps suggesting the idea that life (and death) is a game of chance.

Jacob Lawrence put his own stylistic innovations on the flattened surfaces, distorted shapes, and bold colors of modernism. Here his vibrant palette and energetic composition express the joy and vitality of a summer in Harlem. Children play with their soap box and approach a shaved ice vendor; adults gather in conversation. Lawrence moved to Harlem with his family at the age of twelve, and he was greatly influenced by the creative community flourishing there.
Lawrence chronicled the lives, accomplishments, and challenges experienced by Black communities in the United States. His best-known series, The Migration of the Negro (1941), depicted the mass movement of Black people who relocated from the American South to the North, Midwest, and West in search of economic and social mobility. Lawrence’s parents themselves moved to the North in this exodus known as the Great Migration, which took place from the 1910s through the 1970s.

In 1975, Jacob Lawrence and twelve other artists were asked to respond to the question, "What does independence mean to me?" The prints made by the artists comprise the Kent Bicentennial Portfolio: Spirit of Independence, commissioned in honor of the American Bicentennial.
Jacob Lawrence's parents migrated from the south to New York City, so the theme of migration was one that had great meaning to his personal history. He said, "During the post World War I period millions of black people left southern communities in the United States and migrated to northern cities. This migration reached its peak during the 1920's. Among the many advantages the migrants found in the north was the freedom to vote. In my print, migrants are represented expressing that freedom."

Horse Sense is dominated by an empty article of Native American clothing, standing at once for the artist’s tradition and for the systematic vitiation of that tradition over the past three centuries. Smith’s images and text represent the authentic Native American culture as well as stereotypes from the mainstream culture. Standing proudly atop the shirt is a potent symbol, a horse with a heartline that represents the powerful life force of the animal and perhaps suggests the persistence of native wisdom in spite of efforts to destroy it.

In 1942-43, a mural competition was held for the newly built Recorder of Deeds Building in Washington, D.C. The topic was "The Contribution of the Negro to the American Nation." Hale Woodruff submitted this imagined grouping of Frederick Douglass, President Lincoln, and members of Lincoln's cabinet. While Woodruff did not win the competition, his mural study is a dramatic reminder of the alliance of two of America's most courageous leaders, Lincoln and Douglass, during a period that threatened to destroy the American union.
While Douglass never, in reality, met with Lincoln's cabinet, he did meet with Lincoln and repeatedly urged the president to issue the Emancipation Proclamation. Woodruff stressed the significance of Douglass's role by appropriating the historical image engraved by Ritchie and adding an animated Douglass and the colorful American flag.
