NGA Tour: Elizabeth Catlett: A Black Revolutionary Artist

Please join us for a tour of the exhibition Elizabeth Catlett: A Black Revolutionary Artist, Thursday, May 8, 11:00 am at the National Gallery of Art.  The tour will be led by David Gariff, Senior Lecturer in the NGA’s Education Department.

One of the defining artists of the 20th century, Elizabeth Catlett addressed the injustices she witnessed and experienced in the United States and Mexico through her bold prints and dynamic sculptures. More than 150 of her creations are in this exhibition including rarely seen drawings and paintings.

The exhibition traces Catlett’s career from her roots in Washington, DC, Chicago, and New York to the remarkable body of work she made during some 60 years in Mexico. In striving to make art for the people, Catlett put justice at the very center of her work. More information about the exhibition can be found here.

Registration for this event is limited to 20 WPC members and their guests.
