Paul Coze (French/Serbian-American, 1903-1974). New Mexico Pueblo. Tempera on paper, n.d. A beautiful tempera painting, likely a working sketch, by ethnographic artist Paul Coze. The composition depicts a New Mexican pueblo amongst a landscape of verdant succulents and cacti with purple and blue mountains rising in the distance. A vibrant scene of desert life that encapsulates Coze's fascination with the American Southwest and its indigenous communities. Size of painting: 10.6" W x 7.6" H (26.9 cm x 19.3 cm) Size of frame: 14.2" W x 11.2" H (36.1 cm x 28.4 cm) Paul Coze was an anthropologist, artist, and writer who was most notable as a French authority on Native Americans. Between 1928 and 1934, he made four trips across western Canada collecting ethnographic objects for the Musee d'Ethnographie in Paris and the Heye Foundation in New York. He settled in Phoenix, Arizona in 1951 and created nine major pieces of public art in the city, most with Native themes.
