HARRISON BEGAY (Haskay Yahne Yah)

Harrison Begay was born in 1917 at White Cone Arizona.  He is correctly known as the patriarch of twentieth century Navajo art.  His Navajo name is Haskay Yahne Yah, but he is best known throughout the art community and by art collectors as Harrison Begay.

Harrison's graphic art style depicts religion, life and animals of the Navajo native American people.  He painted children, animals, shepherds, weavers, and native American ceremonies, including the "Squaw Dance" and several Yei Bei Chai spiritual dances.  His favorite medium was watercolor from an acrylic base.  This medium enabled him to capture the soft pastel colors for which he is so well known. 

We have the below small size to medium size Harrison Begay giclee prints available for sale.
