Era St II

Era, State II, 1979 Lithograph by R.C. Gorman. This stunning variant of the Era portrait reimagines the same serene Navajo woman in a completely different chromatic key. Where State I features bold crimson red, this state drapes the figure in a magnificent deep cobalt blue wrap that creates a cooler, more meditative atmosphere. The pale cream face and neck remain consistent with State I, but the shift from warm red to cool blue transforms the entire emotional register of the piece. The composition showcases Gorman’s technical skill at working variations across multiple states, a classic lithographic practice. Ideal for collectors of Gorman’s serial works and those appreciating the subtle power of color variation in fine art.
