Night St I

Night St I, a 1977 lithograph by R.C. Gorman, features a solitary woman rendered in a state variation of his night exploration series. She reclines or sits curled inward, wrapped in a dramatic red blanket with dark linear accents that create visual texture and depth. Set against a deep charcoal and pale cream background suggesting nighttime, the figure’s posture conveys introspection or rest. The bold reds and subtle pink highlights in the clothing contrast with the dark surroundings, drawing focus to the solitary form. The work exemplifies Gorman’s skill in using color and contour to express emotional states. A significant acquisition for collectors of Gorman lithographs and figurative night studies.
