Corrine

Corrine, an R.C. Gorman lithograph, is a gentle reclining figure study of a Navajo woman nestled against a cream-white pillow, her upper body wrapped in a richly textured cranberry red blouse while her skirt is rendered only in fine black outline across the lower half of the sheet. Her hair is pulled back into a dark low bun tied with a white ribbon, her eyes closed in restful half-slumber. Gorman sets the figure against a soft ivory ground with warm charcoal shading behind the head, balancing one saturated passage of red against the cool airy draftsmanship of the drapery. A must-have acquisition for collectors of Gorman lithographs, Southwest fine art, and Native American figurative prints.
