This is a framed piece that features an eagle perched, looking for prey. The piece measures 6.05" x 9.05" and is mounted on a blue matte. The frame measures 14" x 11." Yazz's signature can be seen in the lower right corner. Beatien Yazz's artwork became a product of his duel upbringing in Anglo and Native worlds. Born in the trade post town of Wide Ruins, Arizona, Yazz, also known as Jimmy Toddy, discovered art early in life. As a child, Yazz would draw on canyon walls with stones without wearing a shirt. His passion for drawing caught the attention of the local Trade Post owner, Bill Lippincott. Lippincott noticed the boy's gifts early, and gave the young artist his first set of painting materials at the age of seven. By the time he was ten, Yazz's work was on display at the Illinois State Museum. Yazz began painting professionally again in the late 50s and enjoyed several years of fame and artistic growth. Yazz was active until 1991, when he stopped painting due to his deteriorating eyesight. [REF: Joan Marter, The Grove Encyclopedia of American Art]. City: State: Arizona Date: ID# 301
