Civil Rights Artist: Elizabeth Catlett

Elizabeth Catlette was a sculptist and artist who produced most of her work through the 1960's and 1970's. Her art expressed the black plight at the timed and her work was said to be politically charged. In this picture, Head of a Woman, it portrays the power of black women through the intensity of her eyes. Also the picture is in black and whites as if to say there is no difference in color.
