Over his lifetime, Swazo Hinds's works have been shown in numerous exhibitions, including at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and are in the permanent collections of the Institute of American Indian Arts and the National Museum of the American Indian. As an important person in the California art scene, Swazo Hinds departed from the traditional style and painted highly abstracted pieces that emphasized his connection to his Pueblo culture, which he visited every summer after his adoption. He stated, 'I have worked hard to learn to paint and now I have chosen to paint the Indian . . . and his religion and his culture as I understand it. I can paint an Indian as ugly as I want, because there is pain, there is sorrow, there is suffering. I can paint him beautiful, because that is there, too.'"

Patrick Swazo Hinds Chant to Summer Winds Print
Est: -
Patrick Swazo Hinds (1929 - 1974) was a painter from the Tesuque Pueblo in New Mexico. He was adopted at the age of 9 by a California family and grew up off the reservation but returned every summer to Tesuque. As a result of living in two worlds, Swazo does painting that reflects a combination of the traditional with a more modern style.
