Trilogy II

Trilogy II, 1986 serigraph by R.C. Gorman, portrays a Navajo woman in a semi-reclining pose, her head tilted back in a moment of ease and reflection. With dark hair gathered in a bun and warm bronze-toned skin rendered in soft gradations, she wears a flowing white garment that echoes her serene expression. The composition’s delicate linework and restrained palette of creams, taupes, and warm flesh tones demonstrate Gorman’s refined technique in capturing both physical form and emotional interiority. The figure floats against a neutral background, allowing the viewer’s focus to rest entirely on her contemplative state. Essential for collectors of Gorman’s 1980s figurative works.
