Mother and Child, 1944 Elizabeth Catlett (Mexican, born United States, 1915) Lithograph Sheet: 12 3/8 x 9 3/8 in. (31.4 x 23.8 cm); image: 7 3/4 x 5 3/4 in. (19.7 x 14.6 cm) Gift of Reba and Dave Williams, 1999 ( ) Catlett's attraction to Mexican printmaking reflects a social and political concern she shares with the great muralists. Like them she uses her art to advance causes of particular interest to her, including the African-American experience and the plight of the lower classes. Many of her prints show the multidimensional aspects of women as mothers, workers, and activists.

Sharecropper Elizabeth Catlett Linoleum cut Sharecropper evokes Catlett's belief in the strength and dignity of the working poor, while it also offers a heroic portrait of this anonymous woman.

Malcolm X Speaks for Us Elizabeth Catlett Linoleum cut Catlett's continued support of the civil rights movement in the United States during the 1960s is visible in the print completed after Malcolm X was shot and killed. It expresses Catlett's enthusiasm for the leader's successful efforts in inspiring pride in African-American women.

Elizabeth Catlett has said that the purpose of her art is to "present black people in their beauty and dignity for ourselves and others to understand and enjoy." As a sculptor and printmaker, she blends figurative and abstract traditions with social concerns, and has maintained a deep belief in the democratic power of printed art to reach a large audience. She has completed some eighty prints in woodcut, screenprint, lithography, and, most importantly, linoleum cut, a technique she learned at El Taller de Gráfica Popular (People's Graphic Workshop).

Harriet Elizabeth Catlett Linoleum cut (American, born 1915) Linoleum cut She also depicts great women from African- American history, including Harriet Tubman, who is shown here leading slaves to freedom as a "conductor" on the Underground Railroad.
