    JAUNE QUICK-TO-SEE SMITH CONSOLIDATED SALISH AND KOOTENAI NATION, 1940-2025 AMERICAN BISON Mixed media on paper Lower left blind stamp; lower right signed: Jaune Quick-To-See Smith This is an original mixed media work from which the color lithograph "Untitled" in the portfolio "Indian Self-Rule" was produced. Examples a color lithograph on paper, image size: 27 1/4 X 19 1/4, and is in the Smithsonian American Art Museum collection - 1984.78.3. Catalogue note: Jaune Quick-To-See Smith grew up on the Flathead Reservation in Montana and traveled around the Pacific Northwest and California with her father, who was a horse trader. Smith decided she wanted to be an artist after watching a film on the French painter Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. She painted a goatee on her face with axle grease and borrowed a neighbor's beret so she could be photographed posing as the famous artist. In 1958, Smith enrolled at Olympic College in Bremerton, Washington. She had to take many breaks from college in order to earn money, however, and didn't earn her degree until 1976. She moved to Albuquerque, where she studied at the University of New Mexico and founded the Grey Canyon group of contemporary Native American artists. Jaune Quick-to-See Smith creates work that addresses the myths of her ancestors in the context of current issues facing Native Americans. Collections: National Gallery of Art, Wash. D.C.; Smithsonian American Art Museum, Wash. D.C.; Whitney Museum of American Art; Zimmerli Art Museum, Rutgers University; Glenstone Collection, Potomac, Md. Raised on the Flathead Reservation, Smith is deeply connected to her heritage. She creates work that addresses the myths of her ancestors in the context of current issues facing Native Americans. Her inspiration stems from the formal innovations of such artists as Pablo Picasso, Paul Klee, and Robert Rauschenberg, as well as traditional Native American art. Smith works with paint, collage, and appropriated imagery. Through a combination of representational and abstract images, she confronts subjects such as the destruction of the environment, governmental oppression of Indigenous cultures, and the pervasive myths of Euro-American cultural hegemony. Smith has had more than eighty solo exhibitions over the past 30 years. During the same period, she organized and curated more than 30 Indigenous exhibitions and lectured at almost 200 universities, museums, and conferences. She has also completed several collaborative public art works such as the floor design in the Great Hall of the Denver International Airport; an in-situ sculpture piece in Yerba Buena Park, San Francisco, and mile-long sidewalk history trail in West Seattle.
