Homage to Seated Woman

Homage to Seated Woman, 1975 lithograph by R.C. Gorman depicts a Navajo woman wrapped in a pale pink blanket decorated with flowing floral patterns in coral and pink. She sits with her head tilted back in a meditative pose, her face serene and her body enveloped in the soft textile. At her feet lie golden and blue feathers, suggesting both spiritual significance and artistic reference to Native American symbolism. The spare, soft background emphasizes the figure’s inner contemplation and the delicate beauty of traditional Navajo dress. This work exemplifies Gorman’s interest in capturing moments of private reverie.
