Today we honor the birthday of Elizabeth Catlett - artist, activist, and a powerful voice in 20th-century American art. Working across printmaking and sculpture, Catlett centered her practice on Black life, dignity, and resistance.✊🏽✊🏿✊🏾 Watts/Detroit/Washington/Harlem/Newark, 1970, is a testament to that commitment. Created in the aftermath of Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination, this linoleum print maps the grief and fury that erupted across American cities, including our own. Happy Birthday, Elizabeth Catlett.✨ #elizabethcatlett #mlkjr #resistence #nmoa
