Artist: Well listed artist Harry Fonseca (1946-2006) was active/lived in California and New Mexico. Harry Fonseca is known for mod figure painting-coyote people and for what is described as primitive art. Both hissubjects and his methods are unique among his peers. Harry Fonseca was a painter of ethnic symbols re...lated to contemporary storytelling of his19th century Maidu ancestors, a gatherer tribe of central California. Fonseca's earliest pieces drew from his Maidu heritage. He was influenced by basketry designs, dance regalia, and by his participation as a traditional dancer. In his close to twenty-year career as an exhibiting artist, Harry Fonseca's work has gone through a number of transformations, but the one constant has been his openness to new influences and sources of inspiration.
