ELIZABETH CATLETT (1915 - ) Negro es Bello I.
Lithograph, 1968. 192x280 mm; 7 1/2x11 inches, full margins. First edition (of 2). Signed and dated in ink, lower right. Titled, numbered 47/50 and I in pencil, lower left. A superb, crisp impression, with the stone showing clearly.
Provenance: Gift of the artist to the current owner; private New York collection.
Exhibited: The Studio Musuem in Harlem, New York, with the gallery label.
The artist's increased interest in Black Nationalism in the late 1960s is evident alongside her sculptural sensibilites in Black is Beautiful, and the subject of such later prints as Freedom for Angela Davis and Malcolm X Speaks for Us.
