Patrick DesJarlait, Sr. (1921–1972) was an Ojibwe artist and a member of the Red Lake Band of Chippewa Indians. Known for his watercolor paintings, DesJarlait created roughly 300 artworks during his lifetime. DesJarlait’s art represents an early diversion from the Studio School style that developed at the Santa Fe Indian School and was popular during the first half of the twentieth century. His paintings are known for their tactile brushwork, abstraction of figures and places, and subject matter specific to Ojibwe peoples.[1]
