Hello Class! My name is Dillon Pizzarello. A little fun fact about me is that I enjoy golfing and snowboarding as much as I can.
         The Artist I was assigned for this assignment is Betye Saar, “The liberation of Aunt Jemima”. It was created in 1972
Betye Saar uses assemblage medium in her art. Which is art made by assembling disparate elements. Often scavenged by artists for a specific art piece.
Saar has three daughters, two of whom are in the visual artist industry. Occasionally her daughters Lezley and Allison collaborate with their mother’s artwork.
Saar grew up in Los Angeles and Pasadena, California and studied design at the university of California.
Saar’s visit to the exhibition of work by joseph cornell at the Pasadena art museum in 1967 Majorly influenced her own artmaking.
Betye Saar was a pioneer of second wave feminist and postwar black nationalist. Whose lasting influence was secured by her iconinc reclamation of “The Liberation of Aunt Jemima”.
As I first viewed this artwork. I thought to myself “breakfast”. As everyone could probably remember growing up with Aunt Jemima’s pancake syrup. I questioned if the timeline of this art piece correlated to the time period of slavery. After learning about the artist and the timeline of this artwork it opened my sense of emotion for what the artist was trying to tell us. She wanted to explain the deep-seated history of racism.

Lezley Saar
Master shaman who explores the role of mysticism, spiritualism and religious rituals in the human quest for safety, survival and certainty. Known for her earlier works that examine those who dwell in the interstices of identity, Saar here creates fantastically invented narratives of soothsayers and seers who use amulets, bones and tinctures to fix what is broken, find what is lost, or cure all manner of maladies.
