内容説明
Painter, sculptor and printmaker, Elizabeth Catlett (b. 1915) played an influential role in America's African-American and Mexico's revolutionary art communities in the mid-twentieth century. Catlett studied at the University of Iowa (where she briefly worked with Grant Wood), the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and the Art Students League in New York, before moving to Mexico in 1947. Focusing on Catlett's evocative "Negro Woman" series from 1946-47, this book reveals Catlett's commitment to social and political issues. All of the fifteen linoleum prints are beautifully reproduced and together they address the harsh reality of black women's labour; honour renowned historical heroines such as Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubma and Phillis Wheatley; and depict the fears, struggles and achievements of ordinary African-American women. Other notable works by Catlett are also included, and an absorbing essay by distinguished scholar Melanie Anne Herzog analyses the artist's powerful work from a biographical perspective.
