Elizabeth Catlett

,

Elizabeth Catlett was an African-American sculptor and master printmaker whose work is both social and political in nature. Born in 1915 she created sculptures and prints with a recurring "female" and "mother and child" theme. These have become her trademark. She felt the role of women in society and the relationships between a mother and her child are very important and liked to explore these through her work.
