The Art Institute of Chicago’s exhibition Elizabeth Catlett: A Black Revolutionary Artist—and All That It Implies, on view through January 4, 2026, offers a sweeping look at the life and work of one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. Catlett’s art is celebrated for its political clarity and expressive power, yet her legacy is equally shaped by her roles as a mother, educator, and lifelong advocate for Black women.

A mother of three sons and grandmother to five, Catlett often paused her professional ambitions to raise her children—an experience that deepened her understanding of labor, care, and vulnerability.
