Thanks Icky. I’d never heard of her before this post, so thanks for pointing her out.
Thanks for posting this. I couldn’t have said it better than you. I just linked to your post over on Printeresting.

I have been a big fan of Elizabeth Catlett ever since I saw this iconic print of hers in the Art Institute of Chicago’s old prints and drawing gallery. It was always a dream of mine to meet her in person. I was, of course, saddened to hear of her death. I am fortunate to own one of her small prints, which was done in the 1950s. I plan to donate it to a local museum so other people will have a chance to get to know her wonderful body of work.
