Elizabeth Catlett Three Women in America, 1990 Auction: January 21
Prints & Multiples A talented sculptor and printmaker, Washington, D.C.-born Elizabeth Catlett was long inspired by African American, Native American, and Mexican art and often incorporated those themes into her work. In her 1990 screenprint Three Women in America, she intertwines three women of different ethnicities, blending their clothing, their skin tones, and even the women's eyes. Catlett's overlapping of her subjects' features deftly highlights both their differences and their similarities. View Lot
