Woman with Tulip Bowl St I

Woman with Tulip Bowl, State I, 1981. A serene Navajo woman sits with her dark hair bound in a traditional bun, her warm golden-toned skin glowing against the brown landscape. She holds a striking Acoma or Pueblo pottery bowl with black geometric patterns in cream and tan, the vessel positioned centrally in the composition. The warm palette of saffron, terra-cotta, and cream creates a harmonious color field that emphasizes both the woman’s dignity and the traditional craftsmanship of the pottery. This State I version of the composition exemplifies Gorman’s reverence for Pueblo ceramic traditions. Perfect for serious collectors of Gorman lithographs and Native American fine art.
