Paul Coze B/W Photograph - Snake Dance
Est: $300 - $600
**Originally Listed At $250** Paul Coze (French/Serbian-American, 1903-1974). Snake Dance. Black and white photograph, n.d. A captivating photograph by ethnographic artist Paul Coze featuring a Hopi Snake Dance during the moment when the Snake Clan dancers line up opposite the Antelope Clan dancers, all in front of the kisi or snake pit, and chant; their deep tones seemingly emanating from the earth as they simultaneously shake handheld rattles and sway in place. At least a dozen non-Native spectators are gathered in the midground - a practice that was stopped by Snake dance practitioners in the 1950s. Size of photograph: 9.2" L x 4.4" W (23.4 cm x 11.2 cm) Size of frame: 12.8" L x 17.2" W (32.5 cm x 43.7 cm) Paul Coze was an anthropologist, artist, and writer that 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. According to the Smithsonian American Art Museum, "The Hopi of northeastern Arizona are the only community to perform the Snake Dance. It is one of the most widely known ceremonies of the Pueblo peoples because during one part of the dance, each performer carries a live snake in his mouth. The snake is seen as a messenger to the underworld who can help assure abundant water and rainfall for crops."

2 Signed Paul Coze Watercolors & 1 Photograph (1950s)
Est: $800 - $1,200
**Originally Listed At $400** Paul Coze (French/Serbian-American, 1903-1974). "At Corn Dance Santo Domingo Aug. 4, 1951" watercolor; "San Domingo" watercolor; "U.S. Canyon de Chelley" black and white photograph, stamped April 1957. Two captivating watercolors by ethnographic artist Paul Coze as well as a remarkable photograph of the artist painting at a prehistoric basket maker sight in Canyon de Chelley (as noted on a label below the photo). "At Corn Dance Santo Domingo Aug. 4, 1951" depicts 4 drummers climbing an adobe staircase and an individual in the foreground, perhaps a dancer, walking toward the drummers.Three women are walking beneath the columnated walkway of the adobe structure at the right. The other watercolor depicts the New Mexican Spanish Mission Church - Santo Domingo. Notice Coze's handwritten notes "adobe" on one wall, "kiva" and "adobe" on another, as well as "w" written twice on the columnated wall, perhaps to indicate a west-facing wall. Coze took his artist-as-ethnographer role very seriously, and his art was intended to be informative as well as visually captivating. Size (wcs): 8" L x 10.875" W (20.3 cm x 27.6 cm) The photograph was shot with a keen eye for composition and is fascinating on several levels. Not only do we see the artist at work, but the sight - a prehistoric basket making sight in Canyon de Chelly in Arizona - is exciting as well. This photograph was created for Coze's National Geographic Magazine article titled, "Western States - Kachinas: Masked Dancers of the Southwest" (1957). 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.

Est: $450 - $675
Paul Coze (French/Serbian-American, 1903-1974). Snake Dance. Black and white photograph, n.d. A captivating photograph by ethnographic artist Paul Coze featuring a Hopi Snake Dance during the moment when the Snake Clan dancers line up opposite the Antelope Clan dancers, all in front of the kisi or snake pit, and chant; their deep tones seemingly emanating from the earth as they simultaneously shake handheld rattles and sway in place. At least a dozen non-Native spectators are gathered in the midground - a practice that was stopped by Snake dance practitioners in the 1950s.

The snake is seen as a messenger to the underworld who can help assure abundant water and rainfall for crops."

All stamped "ESTATE OF / Paul Coze." A provoking collection of 3 artworks by Paul Coze, each depicting an ethnographic documentation or interpretation of Native American life. Drawn in pen and ink with crayon, the first portrays a Mojave woman wearing a loincloth, body paint, necklaces, and dangling earrings. The upper right corner bares an inscription that designates the woman as "Mohave" and lists a name and museum. Next, the pen and pencil drawing displays a figural vessel possibly at the Denver Art Museum, as the lower right is inscribed "BAS RELIEF / W. Colorado / (mohave) D.A.M."

The next photograph documents the Niman Kachina ceremony at Walpi, showing a procession in which dozens of natives are adorned in elaborate costumes of plumage, masks, and tunics. Size of largest (Niman and Luhan Family the same): 9.2" W x 7.5" H (23.4 cm x 19 cm) Size of largest with matte (Niman): 15" W x 16.2" H (38.1 cm x 41.1 cm) The third photograph presents the family of Adam Trujillo Luhan at the pueblo in Taos, New Mexico in the midst of a discussion with two children sitting on rungs of a ladder to the right, while their father stands below them with one hand on his hip as he addresses their veiled mother to the left.

2 Signed Paul Coze Watercolors & 1 Photograph (1950s)
Est: $800 - $1,200
Paul Coze (French/Serbian-American, 1903-1974). "At Corn Dance Santo Domingo Aug. 4, 1951" watercolor; "San Domingo" watercolor; "U.S. Canyon de Chelley" black and white photograph, stamped April 1957. Two captivating watercolors by ethnographic artist Paul Coze as well as a remarkable photograph of the artist painting at a prehistoric basket maker sight in Canyon de Chelley (as noted on a label below the photo). "At Corn Dance Santo Domingo Aug. 4, 1951" depicts 4 drummers climbing an adobe staircase and an individual in the foreground, perhaps a dancer, walking toward the drummers.Three women are walking beneath the columnated walkway of the adobe structure at the right. The other watercolor depicts the New Mexican Spanish Mission Church - Santo Domingo. Notice Coze's handwritten notes "adobe" on one wall, "kiva" and "adobe" on another, as well as "w" written twice on the columnated wall, perhaps to indicate a west-facing wall. Coze took his artist-as-ethnographer role very seriously, and his art was intended to be informative as well as visually captivating. Size (wcs): 8" L x 10.875" W (20.3 cm x 27.6 cm) The photograph was shot with a keen eye for composition and is fascinating on several levels. Not only do we see the artist at work, but the sight - a prehistoric basket making sight in Canyon de Chelly in Arizona - is exciting as well. This photograph was created for Coze's National Geographic Magazine article titled, "Western States - Kachinas: Masked Dancers of the Southwest" (1957). 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.

3 Paul Coze Photos - Corn Dance & More
Est: $600 - $900
Paul Coze (French / Serbian-American, 1903-1974). (1) "Corn Dance Tesuque NM" black & white photo - title and "P. Coze" handwritten on verso, n.d.; (2) "Old Oraibi" black & white photo - handwritten informative description and Paul Coze stamp on verso, n.d.; (3) untitled photo print of water carrier, possibily from a book, n.d. A wonderful trio of photographs by Paul Coze who was a remarkable artist-as-ethnographer. First is "Corn Dance Tesuque NM" which features a group of katsina dancers in traditional dress, several with wonderful masks. Traditionally, these dancers perform during the spring to promote the growth of corn - a line of Corn Dancers faces a line of female companions who create music with sheep scapulae and rasps along with gourds. Next is a photo of Old Oraibi - a Hopi village comprised of mud and stone dwellings - located on the Third Mesa of the Hopi Reservation in Arizona. The dwellings are clustered together; stairs and ladders were used to reach the upper floors. Size (Old Orabi): 8" L x 10.125" W (20.3 cm x 25.7 cm) On the verso of the photo, Coze indicated that Old Oraibi was erected about 1370 CE and described it as the "oldest inhabited town in USA," but today it is believed to have begun between 900 and 1000 CE. Finally, the third photo depicts an indigenous woman carrying a blackware jar on her head with a floral scarf framing her visage and cascading over her shoulders and torso. She stands before an adobe dwelling with a ladder leaning against one of the walls. 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.

A son retour, il donna des conférences notamment pour la Société Américaciste de Paris qui attirèrent l'attention du Musée d'ethnographie du Trocadéro. En 1930, la mission Paul Coze, destinée à étudier les indiens du Canada, à les filmer et à renregistrer des disques de leur chant, fut soutenue par les autorités scientifiques. Le musée ethnographique présenta le 15 mai 1931 les résultats: "Peaux Rouges d'hier, et exposition d'aujourd'hui" suivi d'une seconde en 1935: "Art Peaux-Rouges d'aujourd'hui, dessins des élèves de l'école Indienne de Santa Fe."

Paul Coze exécuta trois portraits de son amie Molly : une aquarelle inspirée d'une photo publicitaire du film de la Paramount, qui se trouve actuellement au Royal Alberta Museum (réf.: H.95.98.16 - Canada), puis Paul s'inspira de son beau visage pour créer le portrait de la Sainte Iroquoise KATERI (Catherine) TEKAKWITHA (ca. 1656 - 1680) qui illustre le frontispice du livre de R. Rumilly "KATERI TEKAKWITHA - Le Lys de la Mohawk" - Bouasse-Jeune & Cie, Paris 1934. Et enfin, Molly servit de modèle pour cette grande huile de 1933.

Paul Coze (1903-1974 Phoenix, AZ)
Est: $1,000 - $1,500
''Self Portrait with Palette'', surrealist still life with self portrait, spur, Indian doll and art objects, signed and dated lower right: Paul Coze / 49, titled by the artist on a photograph of the painting, oil on canvas, 31.5'' H x 24'' W, est: $1000/1500. Note: Paul Coze emmigrated from France to the United States in the 1930s, lived briefly in Pasadena in the 1940s where he taught at the Art Institute and worked in the art department at 20th Century Fox, and settled in Phoenix by the 1950s. Coze married Katharine 'Kay' Coze, niece of artists Anna Katharine Skeele and Frode Dann. He maintained an active art studio in Phoenix where he produced many significant civic murals around the city, scores of which have been lost to renovation and construction. Of particular interest to the artist was the local Native American culture. In the present work, Coze incorporates Native American and art elements together to create a Surrealist, off-kilter and thoroughly unique self portrait. Other examples of the artist's work included in the sale continue similar themes of surrealist/modern depictions of self and Native American culture. Two black and white photographs of the painting from the artist's estate are included with the lot.
