Elizabeth Catlett: A Black Revolutionary Artist and All That It Implies

In her own words, Elizabeth Catlett discusses her approach to creating art in service of her people.

“I work from dual necessities—social as well as aesthetic, political as well as physical, emotional as well as intellectual. Sculpture is my connection between nature and society. When I physically transform raw material—wood, clay, or stone—into an aesthetic expression of the life of my people, I feel complete as a human being.”
