About This Item
Mexico: 1950. Halftone print from the period. 40.9 x 48.5 cm. Signed in the plate. Marginal waterstains and small tears..Catlett’s attraction to Mexican printmaking reflects a social and political concern she shares with the great muralists. Like them she uses her art to advance causes of particular interest to her, including the African-American experience and the plight of the lower classes. Many of her prints show the multidimensional aspects of women as mothers, workers, and activists. Sharecropper evokes Catlett’s belief in the strength and dignity of the working poor, while it also offers a heroic portrait of this anonymous woman.(Harper Montgomery and Sarah Suzuki for MoMA).
