Original Description:
Very hard to find original acrylic painting by well know Navajo artist, poet, printmaker and teacher Grey Cohoe.Beautiful color in what is possibly a self portrait. A few water spots on the frame but otherwise in excellent condition. It is signed on the front and also on the back. A remarkable find for a collector of Native American painters. It measures 25’ by 27.He was born in Tocito, New Mexico in 1944. His career as an artist was highlighted by his work as a professor at the Inst...itute of American Indian Art in Santa Fe, but cut short by his death at the age of 47. In reference to his work "Yei Bi Chei, " he is quoted as saying, "I can't say I'm glad to have had to live through all that [acculturation] to be where I am today. [White] People know Indians as people who have lost their culture in most cases. Some walk around like urban drunks, dyeing their hair yellow to get away from their background. In my work, I'm saying 'Ha. I'm making it'. . . in my work, I'm offering people a party they're never going to forget."
