Carolina St II

Carolina State II, a 1986 R.C. Gorman serigraph, is the cool-palette companion to Carolina St I, re-staging the same standing Navajo woman in a richly striped blue, red, and deep purple serape over a soft blush-pink skirt. Her head leans gently against the folded shawl as her dark hair drapes forward. Gorman’s flat planes of saturated color give the textile a rhythmic woven feel, while a subtle rose-violet ground shadow anchors her bare feet to the ivory paper. The cool-dominant palette of this state pairs beautifully with the warm tones of State I, making the two ideal as a matched set. Signed and numbered from a limited edition, Carolina St II is a highly desirable pickup for collectors of Gorman serigraphs, Navajo textile art, and Southwest fine art prints.
