Narciso Platero Abeyta, also known as Ha So Deh ("Ascending") and Hoskiel ("Forceful"), was a painter and illustrator who used linear patterns and decorative colors to achieve works that were noted for their highly personal expression.
Abeyta was born at Canoncito, New Mexico, and attended the Santa Fe Indian School, where he received his early training in art. Although he won a scholarship to Stanford University, he was unable to accept it because he was inducted into the U.S. Army.
He served in the Army from 1941 to 1945, participating in the invasions of Okinawa and Iwo Jima. Following World War II, he studied art at the University of New Mexico. He graduated from there in 1953. He later married and had three children.
He worked with the New Mexico State Employment Commission. His paintings received numerous awards, and in 1961 he had work published in ART IN AMERICA. He also wrote over 100 articles that were published in U.S. and foreign journals. (Excerpt from the Biographical Dictionary of Indians of the Americas. Published in 1991)
