"Edited by curator Dalila Scruggs, the book brilliantly illustrates how Catlett immersed herself in the formal and political possibilities of sculpture, drawing, painting, and printmaking. . . . this catalog is not only a gripping critical overview of Catletts impact on global art and activism it is a necessary contribution to the rich, global genealogy of radical Black art histories. Catlett reminds us that identity alone doesnt make one revolutionary; actions in pursuit of our shared liberation are just as crucial." -- Alexandra M. Thomas * Hyperallergic * "In these pages, youll find over 150 works spanning her nearly seven-decade career, including linocut prints, lithographs, terracotta sculptures, and murals, as well as insightful essays by editor Scruggs and an assemblage of art historians and curators. To call Catlett a 'trailblazer' feels cliched and insufficient, yet thats precisely what she was: She melded art and activism, enacting her politics as an educator and organizer while establishing an iconography of justice as a sculptor and printmaker. At last, a visionary gets her due." -- Sophia Stewart * Hyperallergic, on "The 30 Best Art Books of 2024" * "The time couldn't be better for Elizabeth Catlett: A Black Revolutionary Artist and All That It Implies, the catalog for the decades-spanning exhibition of the Chicago-trained, politically-charged artist." * Chicago Tirbune, on "Gift Books for 2024" * "Handsomely designed and bound with durable paperboard covers, this catalog presents and unprecedented examination of Elizabeth Catlett, the artist known for her figurative sculptures and powerful printmaking." * Culture Type, on the "16 Best Black Art Books of 2024" * "Accompanying the exhibition is a book that offers a detailed look at Catletts nearly century-long life, highlighting both overlooked works and iconic masterpieces. Edited by Smithsonian curator Dalila Scruggs and co-published with the University of Chicago Press, the book addresses various aspects of Catletts development as an artist-activist, the impact of her political exile, her pedagogical legacy, and the diverse influences on her work. The exhibition underscores Catletts enduring legacy as an artist who used her art to drive social change and empower marginalized communities." * Untitled Magazine * "Excellent. There are many nights of inspiration on those pages." * New York Latin Culture *
