ELIZABETH CATLETT (1915 - )
Homage to the Panthers.

Color lithograph, 1993. 864x521 mm; 34x20 1/2 inches, full margins. Artist's proof, aside from the edition of 99. Signed, titled, inscribed "A/P" and numbered 10/20 in pencil, lower margin. Printed by Joseph Kleineman, New York. Published by the Dr. Huey P. Newton Foundation, Oakland. A very good, dark impression.

With this color lithograph, Elizabeth Catlett reinterprets her same-titled 1970 linoleum cut. It was commissioned by David Hilliard and Frederika Newton to raise funds for their founding of the Dr. Huey P. Newton Foundation in 1993.
