Wearing gold-sequined Ugg boots, a bright smile and flawless brown skin that belies her 82 years, Faith Ringgold explains her "confrontational art" — vivid paintings whose themes of race, gender, class and civil rights were so intense that for years, no one would buy them.

"I didn't want people to be able to look, and look away, because a lot of people do that with art," Ringgold said. "I want them to look and see. I want to grab their eyes and hold them, because this is America."
