Timeline
In early 1983, Yazz worked with Sallie Wagner (formerly Sallie Lippencott) and J.J. Brody to publish Yazz: Navajo Painter, which told his life story and included a number of illustrations.
In addition to exhibiting and selling paintings, Yazz also created works on commission. He created some tiles for Gila Pottery, designed fabric on commission for Tumble-weed Prints, and had his work reproduced as greeting cards for a number of companies. Probably his most famous painting was an untitled one used by The Eagles on the front sleeve of their 1974 album On The Border.
By the 1970s, Yazz was suffering from severe eye problems and deteriorating eyesight. A Navajo Medicine man told him this was punishment for painting sacred Navajo figures. Without treatment, his eyes never improved, and Yazz was not able to paint past 1991.
Yazz earned acclaim with collectors by the 1950s. Author Alberta Hannum wrote two popular books about his life, including illustrations by Yazz. Spin a Silver Dollar (Viking Press, 1944) told of his early life meeting the Lippencotts, and its sequel Paint the Wind (1958) continued Yazz's story as a young adult. Spin a Silver Dollar was condensed by Reader's Digest and was presented on Cavalcade of America.
When he returned to the reservation after the war, he dedicated himself to art. In the late 1940s he received a scholarship to study under painter Yasuo Kuniyoshi as part of a summer program at Mills College. During this program, he was able to paint with oil paint from a live model.
Beatien Yazz (born March 5, 1928), also called Jimmy Toddy, is a Navajo American painter born near Wide Ruins, Arizona. He exhibited his work around the world and is known for his paintings of animals and people and for his children's book illustrations. Some of his works have been in the permanent collection of institutions including the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Gilcrease Museum, the Logan Museum of Anthropology, the Museum of New Mexico, the Philbrook Museum of Art, and the Southwest Museum of the American Indian.
