Canyon de Chelley Day

Canyon de Chelley Day, a 1979 R.C. Gorman lithograph, is a poetic portrait of the sacred Diné canyon at full daylight, its towering sandstone cliff rendered in soft peach, rose, and dusty lavender on a luminous mint-green and apricot sky. A lone Navajo woman wrapped in a hot-pink rebozo stands at the base of the cliff, her tiny figure establishing the overwhelming scale of the canyon walls. Gorman’s atmospheric flat color blocking evokes the sun-washed haze that hangs over Canyon de Chelley in the middle of the day. Signed and numbered from a limited edition, this print is a key Gorman landscape and a must-have acquisition for collectors of Gorman Canyon de Chelley imagery, Navajo homeland art, and Southwest fine art lithographs.
