Morning Glory

Morning Glory (1996) is a radiant R.C. Gorman lithograph celebrating a Navajo woman in a crimson red dress as she bends gracefully toward a lush spray of pink morning glory blooms. A delicate butterfly hovers near the blossoms, and a blue cord or ribbon drapes from her shoulders, creating elegant diagonal lines through the composition. Gorman renders the woman’s profile with tender sensitivity while the vibrant botanicals burst with life and color. The warm, vibrant palette captures the joy and beauty of spring and feminine grace. This lyrical, joyous work combines Gorman’s mastery of the human figure with his love of nature. A beloved piece for collectors of 1990s Gorman lithographs and Southwest fine art.
