She didn't seriously pursue art until her 40s, after a 1967 exhibition by sculptor Joseph Cornell inspired her to begin building her own "assemblage" pieces. In 1972, she created her most celebrated work, "The Liberation of Aunt Jemima," reimagining a well-known racist caricature as an armed, defiant figure. Her art now holds a permanent place in major collections, including the Museum of Modern Art, the National Gallery of Art, and the Smithsonian Institution. Saar passed away on July 26, 2026, at the age of 99, just four days before what would have been her 100th birthday. This video is for educational purposes only.
