Elizabeth Catlett: An American Artist in Mexico by
Elizabeth Catlett, born in Washington, DC, in 1915, is widely acknowledged as a major presence in African American art, and her work is celebrated as a visually eloquent expression of African American identity and pride in cultural heritage. But this is not the whole story. She has lived in Mexico for 50 years, as a citizen of that country since 1962, and she and her husband, artist Francisco Mora, have raised their children there. This monograph is the first to document the full range of Catlett's life and work.

All of the fifteen linoleum prints are reproduced and address the harsh reality of black women's labor; renowned historical heroines such as Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman, and Phillis Wheatley; and the fears, struggles, and achievements of ordinary African American women. Other works by Catlett are also included, and an absorbing essay by scholar Melanie Anne Herzog analyzes the artist's powerful work from a biographical perspective.
