Elizabeth Catlett,born as Alice Elizabeth Catlett,also known as Elizabeth Catlett Mora was an African American sculptor and graphic artist best known for her depictions of the Black-American experience in the 20th century,which often focused on the female experience. She was born and raised in Washington,D.C.,to parents working in education,and was the grandchild of formerly enslaved people. It was difficult for a black woman at this time to pursue a career as a working artist. Catlett devoted much of her career to teaching. However,a fellowship awarded to her in 1946 allowed her to travel to Mexico City,where she worked with the Taller de Gráfica Popular for twenty years and became head of the sculpture department for the Escuela Nacional de Artes Plásticas. In the 1950s,her main means of artistic expression shifted from print to sculpture,though she never gave up the former.
