Elizabeth Catlett-the artist who was seen as a threat to the US-gets her due with touring show

"To the degree and in the proportion that the United States constitute a threat to Black people, to that degree and more, do I hope I have earned that honour."

"The exhibition brings together more than 150 objects spanning eight decades, showcasing Catlett's sketches from the 1930s to her public art in the early 2000s."

"Her work is completely in lockstep with the artistic mainstream, particularly early on when she's working in Social Realism, which was the lingua franca of that time."
