About the Item

Elizabeth Catlett: 1915-2012. Well listed and very important African American artist. This lithograph is usually titled Negro es Bello or Black is Beautiful, but this is very first state and early edition "EE" before she came up with title. Lithograph on cream wove paper, signed in pencil, titled, dated and numbered E/E 5/11 . The image itself measures 11 inches wide by 7 1/2 high. The paper measures 18 inches wide by 12, and the frame is 18 1/2 by 12 1/2. Sorry about pics but glass is extremely reflective. Print is in excellent condition. All of that weird looking stuff behind his ear is reflection glare and not on print!!! This same edition print sold in April for almost $11,000 at auction.
