Percy Tsisete Sandy

Percy Tsisete Sandy (1918 - 1974) was active/lived in NM, New Mexico / USA.  Percy Sandy is known for Figure, animal.

Born at the Zuni Pueblo in New Mexico, his Indian name is "Kai Sa," meaning Red Moon.  He is also known as Percy Sandy Tsisete.  He married Peggy Mirabel of the Taos Pueblo, and they lived in Taos. 

As a child at the Zuni Day School, he was told to paint and discovered he loved the activity.  At age 18, he took formal art instruction at Albuquerque and also studied at the Sherman Institute in Santa Fe.

His goal as an artist became "depicting authentically the customs of my people. This, I hope, will be my small contribution to a great race," he said in 1940 (Snodgrass American Indian Painters). 

In 1959, he was severely injured in an automobile accident and was basically unable to paint from then on.  He died on may 15, 1974.

Mural commissions by him are at the La Fonda Hotel in Taos, New Mexico, and the Black Rock School and Hospital in Black Rock, New Mexico. He has also illustrated books.   ...  [Displaying 972 of 1898 characters.]  Artist bio
