A biography in poems about sculptor Augusta Savage, a trailblazing Black artist and a pillar of the Harlem Renaissance, by Marilyn Nelson-with an Afterword by Tammi Lawson, curator of the Schomburg Library. For readers of Claudette Colvin: Twice Towards Justice.
Augusta Savage was one of the most influential African American artists of the last century. A gifted sculptor, Savage was commissioned to create a portrait bust of W.E.B. Dubois for the New York Public Library as well as a sculpture for the American Pavilion at the 1929 World's Fair. The first-ever recorded Black gallerist, she flourished during the Harlem Renaissance and became a teacher to an entire generation of African American artists, including Jacob Lawrence, who would go on to be nationally recognized. 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 in verse and brimming with archival materials, this is an important lyrical biography by a master poet.
