Description
Envy, sculpture in wood. Augusta Savage (February 29, 1892 - March 27, 1962) was an African-American sculptor associated with the Harlem Renaissance. The Savage Studio of Arts and Crafts, located in a basement on West 143rd Street in Harlem, was open to anyone who wanted to paint, draw, or sculpt. She was the first African-American artist to be elected to the National Association of Women Painters and Sculptors and one of four women and only two African-Americans to receive a professional commission from the Board of Design of the 1939 New York World's Fair. Much of her work is in clay or plaster, as she could not often afford bronze. Herman, 1938 (cropped and cleaned).
