Quincy Tahoma Portrait

Quincy Tahoma

Diné-Navajo

(1920-1956) 


 

It was while at Santa Fe Indian School, Quincy Tahoma 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.
