Presented by Mary Lee Corlett, former Associate Curator, Modern & Contemporary Prints & Drawings, National Gallery of Art, this talk will focus on the artistry of Elizabeth Catlett's printmaking practice and how print processes served her activist vision.

Elizabeth Catlett is among the most renowned artists of the twentieth century, equally celebrated as a printmaker and a sculptor. Print processes served her activist vision by facilitating modernist strategies such as repetition and appropriation, engagement with pattern and line, texture, color play, use of positive and negative space, and reversal. The foundational role played by the storied Mexico City print workshop, the Taller de Grafica Popular (TGP), in Catlett's printmaking practice will be highlighted.

This program will not be recorded.
