It grabbed me and held my gaze. this is a serious ‘true’ art piece, done by an artist with the skill of a master. there is energy, vibe, technical skill, fluidity, hardness, softness, and a infiniteness about the piece. I have recently been checking out a lot of old japanese woodcut prints and this piece is very very good. It is amazing to look around in this piece to see all the different areas that were cut ‘just so’ to achieve a shade, or tone. Can’t really say enough about it. If it was on my wall I would stare at it at length. I would really enjoy seeing more of Catletts work. The skill of it stunned me.

Yes, Elizabeth Catlett’s Sharecropper is currently on view in the Art of Americas Building, Level 3. The American Art Acquisitions Group is newly founded so we don’t have a collection of the works online just yet, but you can check out new acquisitions on the LACMA homepage http://www.lacma.org or learn about them through our press releases – just choose “Collections” from the drop-down menu: http://www.lacma.org/about/press

As always, keep checking out our blog Unframed for any news on our permanent collection and more!
