Kyra (Negro Woman in Red), 1971, oil pastel by R.C. Gorman. A portrait study of a woman rendered in Gorman’s signature soft pastel technique, the figure seated and shown from a three-quarter angle, her garment a vivid red that contrasts gently with the warm cream background. The work exemplifies early Gorman pastels, with their characteristic blending of warm tones and sensitive attention to facial expression and pose. A delicate, introspective work that affirms the artist’s humanistic approach to portraiture.
