Betye Saar, the visionary artist who redefined Black identity through found-object assemblage, has died at 99—just days before her 100th birthday. A late-blooming powerhouse who turned everyday relics into revolutionary art, her work from “Black Girl’s Window” to the iconic “The Liberation of Aunt Jemima” reshaped cultural narratives and sparked real-world change, including the end of the racist Aunt Jemima brand. Celebrated by MoMA and LACMA, and immortalized in the documentary “Ready to Be A Warrior,” Saar’s legacy lives on through her art and the countless artists she inspired.
