Dusk

Dusk (1990) by R.C. Gorman, a bold serigraph featuring three Navajo women in profile, each wrapped in distinctly colored blankets—lavender, warm coral-pink, and golden yellow. Their heads are adorned with white hair ties or cloth, and they gaze contemplatively toward the horizon. The background transitions from rust and burnt sienna at the horizon through purple and cool blue tones, creating a sophisticated palette of twilight. The high desert landscape of sand and scattered vegetation anchors the composition. This masterwork captures the quiet dignity and collective spirit of Navajo women at dusk, with Gorman’s characteristic sensitive line work and sophisticated color harmony. Essential for collectors of serigraph prints and Native American figurative art.
