Blessing Way

Blessing Way, a 1997 R.C. Gorman lithograph, depicts a kneeling Navajo woman seated upon an expansive ceremonial weaving, the Yei figure motifs of the rug radiating outward in woven reds, creams, and desert ochres. She wears a rose-pink blouse and a soft periwinkle skirt, her head bowed as a luminous diagonal shaft of light falls across her from the upper right, infusing the sacred Yei’ii Bicheii scene with spiritual glow. The background sky transitions from deep violet to warm amber, framing the entire composition with ceremonial gravity. Signed and numbered from a limited edition, Blessing Way references the Diné Hózhóójí ceremony of harmony and is a centerpiece acquisition for collectors of Gorman ceremonial imagery, Navajo weaving art, and Southwest fine art lithographs.
