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.
