Estrella

Estrella, 1988 Lithograph by R.C. Gorman. The name Estrella means star, and Gorman captures the radiance of a Navajo woman whose face glows with inner light against a warm peachy gradient background. She is rendered in profile, her expression serene and dreamy as she gazes toward an unseen distance. Her dark hair is bound with pale bands. She wears distinctive turquoise earrings that echo the color of Southwest skies. Her entire form is enveloped in a massive soft pink shawl or blanket that sweeps around her shoulders and body in gentle, flowing folds. The composition radiates calm beauty and quiet dignity. Perfect for collectors seeking Gorman’s intimate portraiture and masterful color harmonies.
