José Angela Aguilar

José Angela “Joe” Aguilar (1898–1965), also called Sah Pah, was a Pueblo-American painter and potter from the San Ildefonso Pueblo tribe. In complement to painting two-dimensional artworks, he next frequently painted the pots made by his wife Rosalie Simbola and his mom Susana Aguilar. His artwork is in the steadfast collection of institutions including the Hearst Museum of Anthropology and the Museum of the American Indian.

Aguilar married Rosie Simbola (from the Picurís tribe) in 1922. A number of their kids went on to be notable artists as well, including sons José Vicente Aguilar and Alfred Aguilar.
