Elizabeth Catlett Mastercopy: An online portrait drawing session
Lydia Cecil
Join Lydia Cecil as she creates a mastercopy of *Sharecropper* (1952) by Elizabeth Catlett, exploring the powerful lines and composition of this iconic portrait. Working in charcoal pencil on white paper, she reflects on Catlett’s life, activism, and her pioneering role in championing Black identity, female empowerment, and social justice through art. Catlett’s bold graphic style and commitment to accessible, politically engaged imagery helped shape the direction of 20th-century American printmaking and inspired generations of artists to use their work as a vehicle for change.
