Artspiration... “No other field is closed to those who are not white and male as is the visual arts. After I decided to be an artist, the first thing I had to believe was that I, a black woman, could penetrate the art scene, and that, further, I could do so without sacrificing one iota of my blackness or my femaleness or my humanity.” - Elizabeth Catlett . . . #elizabethcatlett #wakeupinglory #burninginwater #graphicartist #womensculptors #blackandfemale #blacksculptor #blackwomenartists #afrofemcentrism #africanart #blackart #mexicanart #afromexican #modernart #theblackwoman #blackness #behavingwhileblack #blackisbeautiful #newyork #nycexhibition #nycart (at New York, New York)

🎨 #ArtIsAWeapon @burning_in_water_art's "Wake Up In Glory" exhibition of work by renowned sculptor Elizabeth Catlett closes this Saturday, February 3. "I believe that art should come from the people and be for the people ... I believe that art is important to the extent that it grows out of and affects the society of its time.” - Elizabeth Catlett ______________________ Watch the full exhibition video: www.burninginwater.net. ______________________ Burning In Water Gallery 317 10th Avenue, NYC Open Tuesdays-Saturdays,12pm — 8pm #ElizabethCatlett #WakeUpInGlory #exhibition #sculpture #BurningInWater #gallery #BlackArtists #PoliticalArt #ProtestArt #Resistance #TraScapades #ArtIsAWeapon (at Burning in Water Gallery)
