Dream Day

Dream Day (1981) by R.C. Gorman, a striking lithograph depicting a Navajo woman’s profile, her face serene and noble against flowing orange and coral fabrics that billow like desert winds. The rich burnt orange blanket drapes gracefully, contrasting with her pale, delicately rendered features. Below stretches the high desert landscape in golden sand and earth tones, dotted with sparse vegetation and low shrubs. Gorman captures the essence of contemplation and inner vision, with masterful line work defining the figure’s sculptural form. The warm palette evokes the heat and majesty of the Southwest. A must-have acquisition for collectors of Gorman lithographs, Native American figurative art, and Southwest fine art.
