12016-11-17T15:31:09-08:00Traditional Hang-Up2John Outerbridge's piece, Traditional Hang-Up (1969)plain2016-11-17T15:33:51-08:00One of the four pieces John Outterbridge displayed at the Black Art: The Black Experience at Occidental College in the fall of 1971 was Traditional Hang-Up, a distinct and influential part of John Outerbridge's Containment Series.
The piece, Traditional Hang-Up, was created as an assemblage piece in 1969. While being formed of mostly metal, the piece is mixed media and measuring at 30" x 25". The piece itself resembles a crucifix adorned on its top with the visual representation of an American Flag. Through the use and positioning of stars and strips of red, white, and blue, the viewer is given the impression of the flag of the United States.
