Augusta Savage
b. 2-29-1892, Green Cove Springs, FL
d. 1962
Poster text:While Augusta Savage is mostly known as a sculptor, she was also a wonderful art teacher and a tireless supporter of the rights of all artists, expecially black artist. But she was lucky that she was able to pursue her art at all. She grew up in Florida with thirteen brothers and sisters. Her father was a strict Methodist minister who believed that the Bible forbade creating "graven images." He punished Augusta whevever he found any of the small clay figurines she made as a child. But she did not let that get in her way. As she got older, she won awards for her work – and she also won her father's approval. She headed north to Harlem in 1921. ... more ...

Anne Vallayer-Coster
b. 12-21-1744; Paris
d. 2-27-1818
Anne Vallayer-Coster (Costa) was elected to the French Academie Royale in 1770, when she was only twenty-six, due to both the recognition of her talent and still-life painting as a viable artistic genre. Her still-lifes were of eveyday and luxury objects - fruits, game, bread and cheese, silver, and glass ware. Valleyer-Costa survived the French Revolution despite enjoying the patronage of Marie-Antoinette.

Marie "Marevna" Vorobieff
b. 1892; Russia
d. 5-4-1984; London
Maria Vorobieff, whose early art training was in Russia, went on to live and work at the artist community of La Ruche in the heyday of artistic activity of Montparnasse between 1910 and WWII.
Maria was nicknamed "Marevna" (water fairy) by her fellow expatriate Russian, social realist writer and activist Maxim Gorky. Marevna's daughter, Marika Rivera (1919), was the result of her relationship with artist Diego Rivera.
"Still Life of Fish" illustrates her melding of pointillism, which exploits the perceptive ability of the eye and mind to blend spots of distinct colors into a full range of tones, and cubism, where the subject is depicted from multiple viewpoints. She held her compositions together by basing the layout on the Golden Ratio (the total "a+b" is to "a" as "a" is to "b").
