Anna

Anna (1981) is an R.C. Gorman stone lithograph portraying a seated Native woman enveloped in a broad, softly patterned blanket. Her composed frontal pose and direct expression give the figure a quiet, self-possessed presence, while one carefully articulated hand rests against the sweeping folds below. Gorman balances muted teal, earthen brown, warm peach, and creamy ivory against a softly toned background, allowing the figure’s strong contours and sculptural form to command the composition. The blanket’s abstract areas of color create movement without distracting from Anna’s calm expression. Produced in an edition of 200, this early-1980s lithograph is a distinctive example of Gorman’s celebrated approach to the female figure and an appealing work for collectors of R.C. Gorman prints, Native American art, and Southwest fine art.
