Navajo Mother

Navajo Mother, 1965, a bold linocut by R.C. Gorman rendered in striking black and white with exceptional clarity. The standing figure of a Navajo woman is captured in strong profile, her traditional dress defined by confident linework that conveys both form and the texture of woven fabric. The linocut medium’s inherent graphic quality emphasizes the essential dignity and sculptural presence of the subject. This early work showcases Gorman’s skill at capturing psychological presence through economy of means. A rare and valuable historical piece for serious collectors of fine art prints and early Gorman creations.
