Taos Poppies

Taos Poppies, 1988, Lithograph by R.C. Gorman. A seated Navajo woman draped in vibrant magenta wraps herself in a gesture of quiet contentment beside blooming red poppies with green foliage. She wears turquoise jewelry and her dark hair is bound in traditional style. The poppies bloom in brilliant red-orange, with additional flowers scattered around her on the ground. The background displays Gorman’s signature gradient technique, transitioning from deep midnight blue through turquoise and cream to warm peachy-pink tones at the horizon, evoking the serene quality of dusk. The composition celebrates the natural beauty of wildflowers and the quiet dignity of the figure. A distinguished acquisition for collectors of Gorman florals and serene figurative works.
