Socorro

Socorro, 1981, R.C. Gorman woodblock. A dignified figure in profile, wrapped in a deep red textile, sits beside a striking black-and-tan geometric pottery vessel. The composition uses bold woodblock technique with crisp contrasts between the vibrant red drapery and the cream ground. The pottery is authentically rendered with traditional geometric designs. Gorman’s mastery of the woodblock medium shines in the bold lines and emotional presence of the figure. The warm, stately mood conveys strength and cultural continuity. A significant work for collectors of Gorman woodblocks, Southwest fine art, and Native American figurative prints.
