Item Details
Description

Catlett, Elizabeth (1915-2012)
La Presa [The Dam].

1952.

Linocut on paper signed by Catlett in pencil on lower blank margin (light toning to blank edges, adhesive residue to verso); 23 ½ x 19 3/4 in.

"La Presa [The Dam], is representative of work Elizabeth Catlett produced for the Taller de Gráfica Popular (People's Graphic Arts Workshop) to celebrate Mexicanidad (Mexican revolutionary spirit) and social and economic progress. It is part of a series created to laud the achievements of Lázaro Cárdenas's presidency: in this case, building a dam and channeling environmental resources into impoverished areas of the country, spreading electricity and improved education throughout Mexico. The print was produced for a government-sponsored conference and was exhibited there." (Art Institute, Chicago, IL)
