Squash Blossom

Squash Blossom, R.C. Gorman bronze sculpture. A contemporary figurative work depicting a woman kneeling or bending forward in an attitude of harvest abundance. She wears purple and rust garments adorned with traditional textile patterns and turquoise jewelry, embodying cultural pride. Before her sits a shallow wooden bowl overflowing with vibrantly colored squash blossoms and fresh vegetables in rich yellows, greens, and reds. The work celebrates the connection between Navajo/Pueblo women, agriculture, and cultural continuity. The warm earth tones of the bronze contrast with the vivid colors of the harvest bounty. A unique and significant sculpture for collectors of contemporary Native American art, Southwest fine art, and bronze works.
