Woman with Blue Blanket, 1977 oil pastel by R.C. Gorman, is an intimate study of cultural identity and emotional sanctuary. The figure, shown from behind, is enveloped in a striking Navajo blanket rendered in cobalt blue with rust and green horizontal stripes. Her warm peachy body is barely visible beneath the textile, suggesting shelter, protection, and the significance of traditional dress. Gorman’s oil pastel technique creates soft, velvety surfaces and a gentle tonality. A tender work for collectors of Gorman pastels and Southwest figurative art.
