Woman with Pot

Woman with Pot, 1978. A kneeling Navajo woman in crimson and pale wrappings holds a striking Acoma or Santo Domingo pottery bowl decorated with bold black geometric patterns. The cool blue background creates dynamic color contrast against the warm earth tones of her dress and skin. Her expression is serene and proud, hands cradling the traditional pot with reverence. Created as an etching, this work demonstrates Gorman’s sensitive interplay of color and tradition, honoring both the artisan and her cultural heritage. The piece speaks to the continuity of Navajo artistic traditions. Essential for collectors of Native American art, Pueblo pottery imagery, and Gorman etchings.
