José Angela “Joe” Aguilar (1898–1965), also called Sah Pah, was a Pueblo-American painter and potter from the San Ildefonso Pueblo tribe.[1] In addition to painting two-dimensional artworks, he also frequently painted the pots made by his wife Rosalie Simbola and his mother Susana Aguilar.[2] His artwork is in the permanent collection of institutions including the Hearst Museum of Anthropology[3] and the Museum of the American Indian.[1]

Aguilar married Rosie Simbola (from the Picurís tribe) in 1922.[2] A number of their children went on to be notable artists as well, including sons José Vicente Aguilar and Alfred Aguilar.[4][1]
