Her story is one of community-building, activism, and art education. Born just outside Jacksonville, Florida, Savage left the South to pursue new opportunities and opened a studio in Harlem, New York City, offering free art classes. She co-founded the Harlem Artists' Guild in 1935 and became the first director of the federally-supported Harlem Community Art Center. Through her leadership there, Savage played an instrumental role in the development of many artists: William Artis, Gwendolyn Knight, Gwendolyn Bennett, Norman Lewis, Jacob Lawrence, Robert Blackburn, Romare Bearden, among many others. This ground-breaking volume features fifty works by Savage, and those she mentored or influenced, as well as correspondence and period photographs. 600 10 $a Savage, Augusta, $d 1892-1962 $v Exhibitions. 600 10 $a Savage, Augusta, $d 1892-1962. 650 0 $a Women sculptors. 650 0 $a Sculptors. 650 0 $a African American sculptors $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a African American sculpture $v Exhibitions. 700 1 $a Buick, Kirsten Pai. 700 1 $a Cooks, Bridget R., $d 1972- 700 1 $a Dodson, Howard. 710 2 $a Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens. 941 $a 4 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010020420.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20210824012159.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722060835.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213020621.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=986D970A10B711E996AE0D0D97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
