Su-sho-bah St II

Su-sho-bah St II, 1980, R.C. Gorman lithograph, State II variation showcasing the artist’s transformative approach to color in lithographic printmaking. Here the same compelling portrait figure appears against a dramatic deep red and maroon background, her blanket rendered in rich pink and magenta tones with a coral-red undergarment. The warm color shift creates an entirely different emotional resonance, evoking sunset light and inner warmth while maintaining the same expression of serene nobility. This state variation demonstrates Gorman’s command of chromatic subtlety and his ability to deepen mood and meaning through color choice alone. A treasured acquisition for collectors seeking to understand the artist’s sophisticated use of the medium.
