Life and Art of Tony Da
By Charles S. King & Richard L. Spivey
First edition. 2011.
About Tony Da (courtesy of the great Adobe Gallery, Santa Fe):
Tony Da (1940-2008) Thun-Phoe-She (Sun Dew) was an innovative and influential Native American artist. Da descended from a most talented family of artists, both potters and painters, at San Ildefonso Pueblo. His grandparents were Maria and Julian Martinez. This married potter and painter duo were ahead of their time when, in the early 1900s, they broke away from the traditional polychrome wares and created the now-famous black-on-black pottery. Following Julian’s death in 1943, their son Popovi Da began assisting Maria, and by the 1950s he began infusing his own ideas into pottery making. Popovi began painting magnificent polychrome pieces reminiscent of his father's early works. Then he began to experiment with inlaying turquoise into pottery. It was this technique that Popovi’s son Tony picked up on and eventually perfected. With such a talented family, Tony was destined to succeed as an artist.
