Tsa-sah-wee-eh, (Little Standing Spruce), was one of the most significant women in the American Indian art world, second only to, and at the side Helen Hardin
of, her mother - Santa Clara Pueblo Artist Pablita Velarde. Hardin established herself as one of the first female Native American Artists to cross over “Santa Clara Back on Black”
into a contemporary modern style and gain international acceptance and recognition. Hardin’s style, instantly recognizable and intensely captivat- 24” X 20”
ing, emerged from a look similar to her mothers paintings and developed through a cubist period and finally into the abstract yet spiritual work that casein watercolor c.1960
she became famous for. Truly one of the most important American Indian painters of the twentieth century, her career was cut short when she died
of breast cancer in 1984 at age 41. Helen was mother to well-known abstract expressionist artist Margarete Bagshaw.
