Jaune Quick-to-See Smith (Salish & Kootenai Tribes of the Flathead Indian Nation, 1940-2025). Pastel drawing on paper titled "Kalispell 34M" depicting an abstract landscape in bold, sweeping colors, ca. 1970s. Pencil signed "Jaune Smith" along the lower left; titled along the verso. Lot Essay: Jaune Quick-to-See Smith was a renowned Native American artist and activist, best known for her bold, expressive works that combined abstract and figurative styles to address themes of Native identity, colonialism, and cultural preservation. Born in 1940 in St. Ignatius, Montana, Smith was a member of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes. She held a unique position in the art world as one of the leading Native American female artists, using her work to challenge stereotypes and explore the complex experiences of Native peoples. Smith's art often incorporated mixed media, collage, and symbolism drawn from her indigenous heritage, blending traditional motifs with contemporary materials. She was recognized for her ability to fuse Native American culture with modern art movements, creating powerful visual statements that commented on the history of colonization and the ongoing struggles faced by Native communities. As a trailblazer for Native American women in the arts, Smith was instrumental in amplifying Native voices within the contemporary art scene. She worked to empower female Native artists, advocating for their inclusion and representation in both art institutions and broader cultural conversations. Smith's contributions to the field extended beyond her artwork, as she also served as a mentor and educator, helping to inspire and nurture the next generation of Native American artists. Her work is featured in prominent museum collections, including the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the Whitney Museum of American Art, and she remains a significant influence in the movement to give Native women artists greater visibility and recognition.
