Jess Eugene DuBois (American, 1934-2022). Native American Chief in Headdress. Oil on canvas, n.d. Signed at lower left. A powerful painted portrait by the famous American artist Jess E. DuBois depicting the frontally-facing bust of a Native American chief in a headdress, all rendered in brilliant hues and liberal, open brushstrokes. DuBois’ work often includes portraits of Native American people and culture, inspired by his own Cherokee ancestry and visits to the American Southwest, including Scottsdale, Arizona, and Taos, New Mexico. A Creole artist of Cherokee descent, DuBois studied at The Art Institute of Colorado and learned from several established artists, including Ray Vanilla, David Lafel, and Daniel Greene. He opened the DuBois Gallery in Estes Park, Colorado, later returning to Denver where he expanded into glassblowing and sculpture. Size of painting: 40.5" W x 40.5" H (102.9 cm x 102.9 cm); of frame: 43.25" W x 43.25" H (109.9 cm x 109.9 cm)
DuBois received numerous accolades, including a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 1988 Denver Black Arts Festival and the Denver Mayor’s Award for Excellence in the Arts in 2004. He continued to teach and pursue his art until his passing at the age of 88.
