Provenance: The Tatti Family Collection
Note: Augusta Savage was a prominent American sculptor associated with the Harlem Renaissance. In 1934, she made history as the first African American to join the National Association of Women Painters and Sculptors. One of her most notable pieces from the 1920s, Gamin, a bust of her nephew, brought her much recognition and a Julius Rosenwald Fellowship, which funded her studies in Paris in 1929.
