Elizabeth Catlett: Sculpting the Truth

Elizabeth Catlett sculpts the truth from wood, stone, terra cotta, and the people she knows... mothers, workers, children. Her inspiration comes from women, because, as she says, “women have to try a little harder.”

Her work is technically flawless, and artistically brilliant. Against all odds, Elizabeth Catlett has found a place of prominence in the pantheon of African-American artists.
