Original Watercolor by Paul Coze.
Depicting a dancer at Santo Domingo annual Aug 4 corn dance. Stamped "Estate of Paul Coze". During years of art training, an increasing fascination with cowboys and Native Americans led to four museum-sponsored anthropological expeditions to western Canada (1928-1932) and a book, Mœurs et histoire des Peaux-Rouges (1928, with Rene Thévenin). Many of Coze's hundreds of collected artifacts now reside at the Royal Alberta Museum. He led expeditions to North America while studying in Paris, and the connections he developed led to his becoming an adopted member of seven tribes. He later immigrated to the U.S. and lived in Los Angeles, working as a technical consultant for films, before moving to Phoenix, opening a school and studio, and turning his focus to art. Coze’s public artwork in Phoenix included murals at the Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum and another mural (since removed) at the City Council chambers, along with a phoenix sculpture at the Town & Country shopping center on Camelback Road. This watercolor is matted and framed; artwork measures 11" x 8 1/4". Condition is a little rough, commensurate with age.
