Augusta Savage was arguably the most influential American artist of
the 1930s. A gifted sculptor, Savage was commissioned to create a
portrait bust of W.E.B. Du Bois for the New York Public Library.
She flourished during the Harlem Renaissance, and became a teacher
to an entire generation of African American artists, including
Jacob Lawrence, and would go on to be nationally recognized as one
of the featured artists at the 1939 World's Fair. She was the
first-ever recorded Black gallerist. After being denied an artists'
fellowship abroad on the basis of race, Augusta Savage worked to
advance equal rights in the arts. And yet popular history has
forgotten her name. Deftly written and brimming with photographs of
Savage's stunning sculpture, this is an important portrait of an
exceptional artists who, despite the limitations she faced, was
compelled to forge a life through art and creativity.
