It was while at Santa Fe Indian School, Quincy Tahoma, Diné-Navajo (1920-1956) developed his unique painting style. After WWII, he established himself as a full-time artist and painted a wide variety of subject matter but was perhaps best known for his dynamic action filled paintings. He also painted pictures full of humor. His signature included a vignette, a miniature scene which depicted what happened after the action in the painting (Lester 1995). Quincy Tahoma died a tragic accidental death at a young age.
We look forward to seeing you at 221 Canyon Road in Santa Fe. For more information email the gallery at info@adobegallery.com, call 505.955.0550. Adobe Gallery will be open Monday - Saturday 10 am to 5 pm and is closed Wednesdays and Sundays.
