Offering Education
- Created by
- Catlett, Elizabeth, Mexican, 1915 - 2012
- Date
- 2003
- Medium
- bronze
- Dimensions
- Overall with Weight: 73 × 31 × 11 1/2 in., 487 lb. (185.4 × 78.7 × 29.2 cm, 220.9 kg)
- Caption
- This sculpture by Elizabeth Catlett, Offering Education, was commissioned by the CarrAmerica Realty Corp. for Terrell Place, an office building in Washington, DC. The building was located on the site of the former Hecht’s Department Store. When the building was renovated in 2004, it was renamed Terrell Place, in commemoration of Mary Church Terrell’s leadership role in the fight to desegregate the store and other public buildings in Washington, D.C. Two other sculptures, Offering Life and Rejecting Injustice were also commissioned from Catlett for the space. The impetus behind the commission was to have artwork in the building’s public space that reflected its history as it intersected with the struggle for equality and civil rights. Each of the three bronze sculptures reflect Catlett’s long-standing interest in African American dignity, struggle, motherhood, and uplift. They all embody her slightly abstracted signature figural style.
- Description
- This large bronze sculpture is in the abstract form of a woman holding an open book. The figure stands with feet apart, her right foot slightly in front of her left. Her arms are positioned out in front of her, each hand supporting one side of an open book. Ripples across the front of her knee-length skirt indicate movement. Her hair is gathered into a bun at the top her head and she stands erect, looking forward.
