Picture of the day

Augusta Savage (1892–1962) was an African-American sculptor associated with the Harlem Renaissance. Much of her work is in clay or plaster, as she could not often afford bronze, and some—such as Lift Every Voice and Sing, created for the 1939 New York World's Fair—were destroyed for lack of funds. As a teacher, she promoted equal rights in art, and her studio was important to the careers of such artists as Gwendolyn Knight, Jacob Lawrence, and Norman Lewis.Photograph: Unknown; restoration: Yann
