Description
Learn about the life and art of one of the most significant sculptors and printmakers of the 20th and 21st centuries. Catlett was born in Washington, D.C., in 1915, and studied art at Howard University. She was an early pioneer of the rights of women, particularly for women artists in an art world dominated by men. Her art and life validate her motto: “If I am not anything else,” she insisted, “I prove that a black woman can be an artist.”
