Taos Night

Taos Night, 1986, Lithograph by R.C. Gorman. Four Navajo women stand together before a traditional pueblo structure under a star-filled night sky, rendered in deep midnight blue. The women wear blankets in cream, coral red, tan, and lavender tones. Behind them rises the iconic adobe pueblo with its characteristic terraced construction, wooden vigas, small square windows, and traditional architectural features rendered in russet and tan tones. The ground glows in warm peachy tones from the last light of dusk, creating a luminous foreground that contrasts beautifully with the cool night sky. The composition celebrates community, cultural heritage, and the enduring architecture of the Southwest. A premier acquisition for collectors of Gorman’s figurative works and celebrations of Navajo pueblo life.
