A defining Black woman artist of the twentieth century, Elizabeth Catlett (1915–2012) has not received the mainstream art-world attention afforded many of her peers. The Brooklyn Museum, in partnership with the National Gallery of Art, closes this gap with Elizabeth Catlett: A Black Revolutionary Artist and All That It Implies, an exhibition of over 200 works that gives this revolutionary artist and radical activist her due. A deft sculptor and printmaker, devout feminist, and lifelong social justice advocate, Catlett was uniquely committed to both her creative process and political convictions. Growing up during the Great Depression, she witnessed class inequality, racial violence, and U.S. imperialism firsthand, all while pursuing an artistic education grounded in the tenets of modernism. Catlett would protest injustices for nearly a century, via both soaring artworks and on-the-ground activism. Born in Washington, DC, Catlett settled permanently in Mexico in 1946 and for the rest of her life she worked to amplify the experiences of Black and Mexican women. Inspired by sources ranging from African sculpture to works by Barbara Hepworth and Käthe Kollwitz, Catlett never lost sight of the Black liberation struggle in the United States. Characterized by bold lines and voluptuous forms, her powerful work continues to speak directly to all those united in the fight against poverty, racism, and imperialism.

We were there the day that the tree arrived! Many people crowded around to watch the unveiling. The ice skating ring was also opened to the public.

Classic tracks, too camouflage performances, the band scene is seamless with dancers, and the charm of Broadway musicals is infinite. Be sure to experience it in New York. The stage is not big, the seats are basically not too bad, and you can see the dancers&#39; wonderful moments.

Ctrip&#39;s service is very good. It is worth watching, the view is very wide, and the photos are more photogenic. There is no diagonal under the 24-meter cantilever, and the 2.7-meter glass is strongly inclined at 6.6 degrees. The building is of high quality. Buying tickets through Ctrip is more cost-effective than buying tickets on site. Highly recommended.
