Chimayo Chile

Chimayo Chile, a 1992 R.C. Gorman lithograph, seats a Navajo woman in a fiery orange shawl and a voluminous golden-yellow skirt beside a lush green chile bush heavy with red, green, and orange Chimayo chile pods. Her turquoise earring and bright rose-pink underlayer flash against the landscape. Behind her, a distant magenta mountain range sits beneath a gradient sunset sky that rises from peach and coral to a deep lilac above. The warm palette and vibrant botanical detail celebrate the storied Chimayo valley chile harvest. Signed and numbered from a limited edition, Chimayo Chile is a superb acquisition for collectors of Gorman chile imagery, Southwest botanical art, and Native American fine art lithographs.
