The Savage design features the ICONIC sculptor Augusta Savage: During the 1930s, Augusta Savage was well known in Harlem as a sculptor, art teacher, and community art program director. Savage earned a reputation as a portrait sculptor, completing busts of prominent personalities such as W. E. B. Du Bois and Marcus Garvey. Her best-known work of the 1920s was Gamin, an informal bust portrait of her nephew, for which she was awarded a Julius Rosenwald Fellowship to study in Paris in 1929. Following her return to New York in 1932, Savage established the Savage Studio of Arts and Crafts and became an influential teacher in Harlem. In 1934 she became the first African-American member of the National Association of Women Painters and Sculptors. She died on March 26, 1962, following a long bout with cancer.
