Canyon de Chelley Night

Canyon de Chelley Night, a 1979 R.C. Gorman lithograph, is the nocturnal companion state to the Canyon de Chelley series, rendering the same sacred sandstone cliff and lone Navajo woman under the softer light of evening. The composition retains Gorman’s signature flat color planes, with the towering butte and distant mesa silhouettes bathed in hushed peach, cool rose, and dusty blue-gray tones that evoke the deepening hush just after sundown. The woman in her rose-pink rebozo anchors the vast quiet scale of the canyon. Signed and numbered from a limited edition, Canyon de Chelley Night pairs beautifully with Day and Twilight as a triptych and is a coveted single acquisition for collectors of Gorman landscapes, Navajo homeland imagery, and Southwest fine art lithographs.
