Chela St II

Chela State II, a 1980 R.C. Gorman lithograph, is the warm-palette companion state to Chela St I, re-staging the same seated Navajo woman in a crisp cream-white blouse and a richly saturated pumpkin-orange skirt. Her long dark hair drapes forward and her bare feet peek from beneath the folds as she turns gently back toward the viewer. Gorman retains the soft sepia ground but lets the bold orange skirt dominate the composition, shifting the piece’s emotional temperature toward autumnal warmth. Signed and numbered from a limited edition, Chela St II is a highly collectible variant that pairs beautifully with State I as a matched duo, or stands alone as a centerpiece Navajo fine art lithograph for gallery display.
