The American People Series #20: Die is an oil on canvas painting made by American artist Faith Ringgold in 1967.[2] Inspired by Pablo Picasso's painting Guernica (1937) and painted amidst the riots and uprisings of the 1960s, Die is a two-panel work depicting a group of Black and white men, women, and children, most of whom are wounded or covered in blood, variously fighting, fleeing, or dying against an abstract grey background.[1][3] The piece has been extensively cited as among Ringgold's most important and iconic artworks.[3][4][5]
