A Navajo painter and muralist, Quincy Tahoma was also one of the Indian
Code Talkers, who played such a critical part in the winning of World
War II in the Pacific. He was born near Tuba City, Arizona and
given the name Tahoma, which in Navajo means "Water Edge". Early
in his career, his paintings were serene and soothing in tone, but
increasingly they had subject matter of bloody wars and men killing
animals.
He attended the Albuquerque Indian School from 1936 to
1940, (showing 500 of 2414 characters). |
