Night St II

Night St II, a 1980 serigraph, captures the same iconic composition as Gorman’s 1977 lithograph but in vibrant screenprint color. The artist transforms the monochromatic grayscale into bold cream-off-white hues against a dramatic charcoal background. A seated or semi-reclining figure in repose wraps a finely patterned striped blanket around themselves, head tilted in peaceful repose. The serigraph medium allows Gorman’s color blocking technique to shine, with the warm cream tones of the fabric advancing against the cool dark ground. This state variation showcases the artist’s ability to reimagine a composition across different printmaking techniques, offering collectors both monochromatic and colorful iterations of this beloved imagery. Essential for serious Gorman collectors exploring his varied print editions.
