"Among other things, I learned that my sculpture and my prints had to be based on the needs of people.... Some artists say they express themselves: they just reflect their environment. We all live in a given moment in history and what we do reflects what level we are on in that moment. You must, as an artist, consciously determine where your own level is."

 

—Elizabeth Catlett
