SUMMARY:Washington\, DC | Curator-Led Tour of "Elizabeth Catlett: A Black Revolutionary Artist" at the National Gallery of Art
DESCRIPTION:Join ArtTable for a curator-led tour of Elizabeth Catlett: A Black Revolutionary Artist at the National Gallery of Art\, led by Dr. Lynn K. Matheny\, Deputy Head of Interpretation and Curator of Special Projects. \n\n\n\nThis retrospective exhibition showcases the enduring legacy of Elizabeth Catlett (1915–2012) as a visionary artist and an unwavering activist. As the most comprehensive presentation devoted to Catlett in the United States\, it features more than 150 works\, including well-known sculpture and prints\, rare paintings and drawings\, and important ephemera. The exhibition is co-organized by the Brooklyn Museum and the National Gallery of Art\, Washington\, and presented in collaboration with the Art Institute of Chicago. \n\n\n\nOne of the defining artists of the 20th century\, Elizabeth Catlett addressed the injustices she witnessed and experienced through her bold prints and dynamic sculptures. In striving to make art for the people—from her roots in Washington\, DC\, Chicago\, and New York to the remarkable body of work she made during some 60 years in Mexico—Catlett put social justice at the very center of her work. An avowed feminist\, lifelong activist\, and deft formalist\, Catlett passionately addressed injustices such as class inequality\, racial violence\, and U.S. expansionism through her politically engaged art\, injustices which continue to shape the world today.  \n\n\n\n\n\n“I have been\, and am currently\, and always hope to be a Black Revolutionary Artist and all that it implies.”– Elizabeth Catlett\, 1970 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClick here to read more about the exhibition and this visionary artist-activist. \n\n\n\nPlease review the National Gallery of Art’s accessibility page for available accommodations. \n\n\n\nProgram Admission: \n\n\n\n\nArtTable Members – $15\n\n\n\nMember Guests – $20\n\n\n\n\nNot a member?
