This dignified 8” x 10” portrait honors Augusta Savage, the pioneering sculptor, educator, and community builder who became one of the most influential figures of the Harlem Renaissance despite extraordinary obstacles.
The striking image captures Savage's composed determination and resolute gaze—qualities that allowed her to transform raw clay into powerful expressions of Black identity when such representations were rarely seen. Her pearl necklace symbolizes the cultural treasures she created and preserved, while her tailored white jacket reflects the precision and clarity she brought to both her artwork and teaching.
This piece conveys dignity without pretension, strength without aggression, and purpose without compromise. It serves as a powerful reminder of her legacy—creating exceptional work while prioritizing community impact alongside personal achievement.
Perfect for: home offices, cultural institutions, creative studios, educational spaces, and anyone who draws inspiration from pioneering artists and educators.
As part of our SAVAGE ICON series, this portrait features museum-quality matte paper with a polished and sophisticated look. Our multicolor, water-based printing technique provides stunning clarity and resolution that will preserve these powerful images for generations.
Each piece is produced with distinctive materials including:
+ Ayous wood .75″ (1.9 cm) thick frame from renewable forests in West and Central Africa
+ Premium paper thickness: 10.3 mil (0.26 mm)
+ Heavyweight paper: 189 g/m²
+ Protective Acrylite front protector
+ Ready to display with included hanging hardware
+ Product components sourced from Japan and the US
Available in sizes: 8”×10”, 12"×16", 16"×20", 18"×24", and 24"×36"
This product is made especially for you as soon as you place an order, which is why it takes us a bit longer to deliver it to you. Making products on demand instead of in bulk helps reduce overproduction, so thank you for making thoughtful purchasing decisions!
